Distinguished Fields vs Promoted Properties

Distinguished Fields	Promoted Properties
Available within a single Orchestration instance and Not available to Receive location/Send Ports/SendPort Grps	Available for all BTS objects
Fields can have any length	Fields can have max of 255 chars
Less Performance impact as nothing is stored in MessageBox Database.	Uses MessageBox Database hence lesser performance
Referred as MessageName.RecordName.ChildRecordName	Promoted properties are referred as MessageName(PropertyShemaName.PromotedPropertyName

 

Tips :

We know that promoted properties are available to all BTS Objects. In case we want to restrict some valueable properties being available in HAT and BAM , Go to PropertySchema -> Select the property and Set Sensitive Information = yes  for that particular property.
