Order Metaconnector Properties

The Order metaconnector properties are described as follows.

Field

Description

Name

Specifies a unique name that identifies this connection. The maximum number of characters allowed is 255.

Connection to Use

Specifies the name of the underlying connection which is providing the data.

Metadata Name

Specifies the name of the selected table. When you select the connection to use, the metadata name appears in this field.

Owner

Specifies the owner name of the selected metadata.

Sort Character Set (optional)

Specifies the optional character set to force text data into. By default, the underlying connection's character set is used. To provide a character set, use the corresponding constant suffix. Character sets are listed in the Lotus® Connector LotusScript® Extensions Guide. For example, for character set codepage 932, represented by the IBM® Lotus Enterprise Integrator® (LEI) constant LCSTREAMFMT_CP932, enter "CP932" here.

Sorting Fields

Contains a list of fields in which to sort data. For activities where ordering is specified, such as Replication, these selections are overridden and therefore ignored in the connection document. For other activities, this is a place to provide the ordering (which was not available before).

Sorting Options

Specifies whether to sort in ascending (default) or descending order.

IBM® Lotus Enterprise Integrator® (LEI) replication depends on an ascending sorting to operate properly. Do not use the Sort Descending option with a Replication activity.

Order

Specifies how text is to be sorted. The choices are listed as follows.

  • Sort Text as Binary
  • Sort Text with Case Sensitivity
  • Sort Text without Case Sensitivity
