Marketing object type definition files

When you create a marketing object type, IBM® Marketing Operations 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 that are defined between states for the object. The metadata for every marketing object state that is defined on your system is stored 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 extra 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 that were 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® Marketing Operations.
