OBJ_M_CHANNEL

Located in the security domain, this is the main table involved in channel management. This table did not exist in previous versions (4.X) of Business Objects.

This table is updated each time an operation is performed on the channels (creation, deletion, etc).

Name Null ? Type Values
M_CHNL_N_ID NOT NULL int10 The unique identifier of the channel. It is computed from the OBJ_M_MAGICID table. "SELECT M_MAGIC_N_ID FROM OBJ_M_MAGICID WHERE M_MAGIC_C_NAME='CHANNEL'" is the SQL sentence that allows to get the ID of  the next channel.
M_CHNL_C_NAME   char(254) The name of the channel. Channel names are unique. Channels can be created at the supervisor level or by privileged end-users. Channel names are unique within a security domain.
M_CHNL_C_COMMENT   char(254) A comment associated to the channel. This comment can be modified at any time.
M_ACTOR_N_ID   int10 The ID of the creator of the channel (referenced in the OBJ_M_ACTOR table, in the security domain). If the creator is deleted with the supervisor module, then the supervisor (the one who deleted the creator of the category) becomes the owner of the channel.
M_CHNL_N_LAD   int10 The date of the last operation which updated this table. See LAD.
M_DASACTOR_N_ID   int10 The ID of the Broadcast Agent to which the channel is associated. This value is referenced in the OBJ_M_ACTOR table. Not to be confused with the M_ACTOR_N_ID column, which is the creator of the channel.
M_CHNL_N_CDF_VER   int10 The version number of the CDX. It represents the number of times a CDX file has been exported (a CDX file is a template for a CDF file).
