This feature is recommended primarily for hierarchically organized
categories such as Folders and Subfolders. For best performance and consistency
of behavior across applications, the preferred method of navigation is
to use the standard tree behavior that does not use the Expand Inquiry.
If you require this setting, restrict its use to categories containing
relatively few objects.
There are two ways to get the list of business objects to insert under
the category:
- JPO and method
The system obtains the objects using a method in a JPO. You specify the
JPO using the Expand Program setting, and you specify the method using
the Expand Function setting for the command object. If you add both the
JPO and inquiry settings for a category command object, the JPO takes
precedence.
- Inquiry administrative object
The system obtains the objects from the database using an inquiry object.
You configure this behavior using a setting called Expand Inquiry for
the command object that represents the category. The value for the setting
is the inquiry object name. For example:
Expand Inquiry=TMCFolders
