Structure Definition

ShortName Name Type Description Required? Read only? Cardinality XML Attribute? Implementation Notes
id Unique Id String The system assigned unique id to identify this Object.
Could be implemented as as sequence number or as a UUID.

Attempts to set this value on creates should result in a ReadOnlyException being thrown

An Id:

  • An id is used when the actual value is unimportant and
    can therefore be a large hex value for example

  • An id value might be 23b9ca9bd203df902

  • An Id is never intended to be used directly by an end
    user.

  • Ids are assumed to be of different values in different
    KS implementations

  • Id values are generated by the service
    implementations

  • Id values are never expected to be used in
    Configuration or Application code

expiration date.		     One No  
endDate End Date Date Date and time the term expires. This does not
provide a bound on date ranges or milestones associated with
this time period, but instead indicates the time period

expiration date has been currently defined and should
automatically be considered greater than the effective date.		     One No

and treated as read only since the data is set by the internals
of the service during maintenance operations.

update of this object Also contains the version ind used for
optimistic locking.
