Shared composite types

When you create a schema from a composite type, can this later be shared in order to be assigned to another schema?

In my example sharing is deactivated...

Yes you can - since you already created the schema from the TYPE - the TYPE should already exist and is technically shared. The TYPE folder contains the shared type.

In the new Schema - you would just simply ASSIGN that type to the Schema and connect your mappings.

Let me know if this answers your question.

No.

As you can see in the attached picture above the shared is deactivated. I cannot share it.

That is because it exists already as a Shared TYPE - in your Types folder. If a Schema is using a TYPE that is not local - such as the default Composite type - then it cannot be shared if it is already shared. Look at your Types folder and note that you have a Type named Facility. This Type - is your already shared Type.

YES!

No I understand. Thanks a lot!

One more thing about composite types: Each time do I have to define the attributes from the beginning? Can i have shared attributes that i assing to composite types?
