Attributes on <localization> column element

New in 8.0, are two new attributes on the <localization> subelement on <column>. The following list describes each attribute:

Attribute

Type

Description

unique

Boolean

If you set this attribute to true, PolicyCenter prohibits duplicate values in the set of value for each language.

nullok

Boolean

If you set this attribute to true, PolicyCenter flags missing entries that it finds during a database consistency check.

For example, suppose that PolicyCenter defines more than one language. In this case, PolicyCenter stores values for the default application language in the main database table of the entity. PolicyCenter stores the values for the additional languages in a separate localization table.

During consistency checks, PolicyCenter identifies entries in the main database tables for which no corresponding entries exist in the localization table. Values identified as missing are warnings only. A missing language value does not prevent the database from starting.
