The RTAP attribute name corresponding with the Oracle field. This field can be either an rtBytes32, rtBytes48, rtBytes64, or rtBytes80 data element type. This is the RTAP attribute where data will either be read from or saved to. The attribute name should be specified down to the record level for vectors, and record and field level for tables (i.e. only one value will be read/saved) except when using the vector transfer method. For historical data transfer to Oracle, this value specifies the historical table's field name. The following additional keyword functions can be used (must be exactly as shown):

Function	Description
[alias]	use the current RTAP point's alias
[alias]^^^	use the current RTAP point's parent(s) alias. The number of `^', determines the number of levels to traverse upwards. For example, two `^', would result in the RTAP point's grandparent's alias.
[index]	only valid for vector transfers to Oracle. For each record sent to Oracle, a corresponding record number will be sent for this field. The numbering starts at zero. If this functions is specified, the conv rtap de type must be specified.
[pointName]	use the current RTAP point's name
[pointName]^^^	use the current RTAP point's parent(s) point name. The number of `^', determines the number of levels to traverse upwards. For example, two `^', would result in the RTAP point's grandparent's point name.
[time]	use the current time
[time(attribute)]	use the time specified in attribute. For both [time] and [time(attribute)] functions, the following format can be appended to the function, to fix the seconds, minutes and/or the hours in the time stamp value: /00-s/00-m/00-h where: 00number between 0 and 59 sfor fixing the number of seconds mfor fixing the number of minutes hfor fixing the number of hours For example: [time(.time stamp)]/00-s/00-m would set both the seconds and minutes for the time specified in ".time stamp" to zero.
[v]	send a constant value that is specified after this keyword function. For example, use "[v]1.2345" to send a constant value of 1.2345. The value is converted using the RTAP rtStrToType(3) call, therefore, all values must be specified in the appropriate format (e.g. to send string values, use an escaped " to enclose the string, "[v]\"abcde\""). If this keyword function ([v]) is used, a valid RTAP data element type must be specified in conv rtap de type field.
{attribute}	use indirection to get the actual database address of value(s) to be read. The attribute specified must be either an rtBytes or rtDbXref data element type.
[q]attribute	send the numeric quality of the specified attribute. If this keyword function ([q]) is used, a valid RTAP data element type must be specified in conv rtap de type field.   The data element type must be numeric.
[hv]attribute	This function is used to extract the "historical value" for the specified "attribute".
[ht]attribute	This function is used to extract the "historical time" values for the specified "attribute".
[hf]attribute	This function is used to extract the "historical flag" values for the specified "attribute".
[hq]attribute	This function is used to extract the "historical quality" values for the specified "attribute". These historical extraction functions are only available for the new CE based RTAP data historian.   Only one set of the historical extraction functions can be used in the cross reference table. This is because the RTAP data historian will only save a single data value.
[sqlWhere]	This function is used to insert an SQL WHERE keyword and is only valid for updates (see transfer direction) to the Oracle database.
[sqlOr]	This function is used to insert an SQL OR keyword as part of the where condition and is only valid for updates (see transfer direction) to the Oracle database.
[sqlAnd]	This function is used to insert an SQL AND keyword as part of the where condition and is only valid for updates (see transfer direction) to the Oracle database.
[sql(]	This function is used to insert an open bracket as part of the where condition and is only valid for updates (see transfer direction) to the Oracle database.
[sql)]	This function is used to insert a closed bracket as part of the where condition and is only valid for updates (see transfer direction) to the Oracle database. These SQL keywords should be entered into both the oracle field and rtap attribute fields.

A data element type used to convert values read from the RTAP database before it is sent to the Oracle database. If this value is 0 (rtUNDEFINED), the data element type of the value given by the rtap attribute will be used. Note that the data element type of the rtap attribute value must be the same for all points (see scan input table) if this value is not specified (i.e. it is an error to try and send values of different data element types without specifying this value; however if the max recs per trans value specified in the communication port point is set to one, values can have different data element types, since they will be sent on a per scan input table record (i.e. point) basis). For a list of RTAP data element types see "Data Element Types" section in the RTAP Reference Manual.

If the data transfer is from the Oracle database, a record in the cross ref table must contain the "[alias]" keyword function in the rtap attribute field.
