    MAM 7.6.1.2:

    What is the intended use case for the Join to Object field in Database Configuration?


    Also, what kind of join is it? An inner join?

    Thanks.

    I've never used it, but according to the JavaDocs on MAXOBJECTCFG (https://bportaluri.com/wp-content/MaximoJavaDocs76/psdi/app/configure/MaxObjectCfgRemote.html) it causes an inner join to the other object. I personally think it's easier to just do that in the view from and specify the exact syntax that you want it to join on.

    The best examples of this are PURCHVIEW, LEASEVIEW which connect CONTRACT to the application-specific tables such as CONTRACTPURCH, CONTRACTLEASE. View the script of these and you observe they connect to 2 tables using an inner join.
