3633076 - Matching Field Identifiers Between Manage Business Configuration (BCUI) and OData API Data Dictionary

The field identifiers in Manage Business Configuration (BCUI) differ from the Property Names in the OData API Data Dictionary. This can make it challenging to map fields accurately between the two tools. This article provides tips to help you identify which field in BCUI corresponds to the OData API Data Dictionary.

To accurately match fields between BCUI and the OData API Data Dictionary, follow these guidelines:

Identifier Mapping

• In the OData API Data Dictionary, Property Names do not include hyphens (-).
• Therefore, the Property Name is the same as the BCUI identifier but without the hyphen.
• Example:
  • BCUI identifier: birth-name
  • OData Property Name: birthName

Label Matching

• You can also match fields using their labels, as the labels are identical in both BCUI and the OData API Data Dictionary.
• Example
  • BCUI label: Birth Name
  • OData label: Birth Name

By recognizing that OData Property Names exclude hyphens and that field labels remain consistent across both tools, you can effectively map fields between Manage Business Configuration (BCUI) and the OData API Data Dictionary. This ensures accuracy and consistency in your data integration and reporting tasks.
