An object is a representation of an element that can be handled through Oracle Data Integrator (agents, models, datastores, etc). The objects are the visible part of Oracle Data Integrator object components (Java classes). It is necessary to bring together the notions of object and object instance (or instance), which in Oracle Data Integrator are similar to Object-Oriented programming notions. An instance (object instance) is attached to an object type (an object). For example, the project MY_PROJ_1 is an instance of the project object type (or object). Similarly, another instance of a project-type object is YOUR_PROJ_2.

Flexfields are user-defined fields enabling to customize the properties of Oracle Data Integrator' objects. Flexfields are set for each object instance through the Flexfield tab of Object window, and their values are defined for each object instance through the Flexfield tab of the object's instance window. Flexfield values are usable through Oracle Data Integrator substitution methods.
Important: Flexfield exist only for certain object type. Objects that do not have a flexfield tab do not support them.
