Abstract
A computer-implemented method of configuring a database system for a global attribute search may include receiving a first user-actuated input in a distributed computing system that comprises multiple executable software applications. The software applications may process data objects in the system, and the data objects may have attributes and corresponding attribute values that are stored in two or more attribute repositories of an attribute system. The first user-actuated input may identify a user-selected attribute having an attribute name. The computer-implemented method may receive a second user-actuated input that identifies a user-determined alias name. The computer-implemented method may store in the attribute system an association between the user-determined alias name and the user-selected attribute name, such that during execution of a global search of attributes in the two or more attribute repositories, the attribute system may provide the user-selected attribute name in response to query input comprising the user-determined alias name.
