Converting types to shareable and lightweight object types

A heavy type object type can be converted to both a shareable object type and lightweight SysObject type. This option is available only on 6.5 repositories where the High-Volume Server license is enabled.

To convert a type to a shareable object type and lightweight sysobject type:

Navigate to Administration > Types to access the Types list page.
A list of existing object types is displayed.
Select the type and then Select Tools > Convert to Sharable and lightweight object type.
The Convert Object page is displayed.
Enter information on the Convert Object page:
1. Shared Parent Type: Type the new shared parent type name.
  If Recovery Mode is selected, the shared parent type does not need to be an existing type. If it is an existing type, it must be a shareable type.
  If Recover Mode is not selected, the shared parent type cannot be an existing type.
2. Execution Mode: Select one of these options:
  - Split and Finalize: Select to generate the script file and then run the conversion process.
  - Split without Finalize: Select to generate the script file and then run the conversion process without changing the original types. This is the default setting.
  - Finalize: Select to replace the original types with the internal types.
3. Recovery Mode: Select to run the conversion in recovery mode. This field appears when Execution Mode is Split and Finalize or Split without Finalize.
4. Parent Attributes: To select a type for the shareable parent types, click Select Attributes to access the Choose an attribute page.
