An Object Discovery Agent (ODA) simplifies the work of building business objects for request processing. Business Object Designer provides a graphical interface to all available ODAs, and helps you find the agent you need. The SAP XI ODA is named, by default, SAPXIODA. The name as it appears in the WSDL Wizard depends on the value of the AGENTNAME variable in the start_SAPXIODA.bat or start_SAPXIODA.sh file. For more on ODAs and business object definitions and how to configure, start and use ODAs, see the IBM WebSphere Business Object Development Guide. You are encouraged to consult that document as needed while following the procedures below.
After starting the Object Discovery Agent, follow these steps to launch the SAP XI ODA:

If Business Object Designer does not locate your SAP XI ODA, check the setup of the ODA.
This displays the Configure Agent wizard window, which shows the configuration properties you need to specify.
