About marketing object type definition files

When you create a marketing object type, IBM® Operações de Marketing updates database tables and creates the following XML files to store definitions for that marketing object type.

mo_<name>_map.xml, which defines the standard attributes to show on the Summary tab for the marketing object. You can also change the labels of these attributes.

mo_<name>_state.xml, which contains the metadata for the transitions defined between states for the object. The metadata for every marketing object state defined on your system is defined in the globalstates.xml file. If you add any new states, you must define them in that file.

where <name> is a lowercase version of the name you specified in the Marketing Object Type Module Name field when you created the marketing object type.

The marketing object definition files are stored in the <MarketingOperations_Home>\conf\<locale> directory.

In versions before version 8.6.0, the system created two additional files for marketing object types: mo_<name>_list.xml and mo_<name>_ui.xml. These files are no longer created; however, the <MarketingOperations_Home>\conf\backupUiListConfig directory retains files created before the upgrade to version 8.6 for reference.

Do not remove any of the marketing object definition files. If you do so, you cannot start your web server or use IBM® Operações de Marketing.
