Business object structure

The adapter for FRONT ARENA retrieves WebSphere MQ messages from a queue and attempts to populate business objects (defined by the meta-object) with the business data contained in the message.

The business data in the MQ Series messages exchanged by the adapter is contained within XML documents. The adapter uses the FRONT ARENA data handler to convert the data from FRONT ARENA native messages into business objects, and from business objects into FRONT ARENA native messages.

The structure of the business object definitions must conform to the requirements of the FRONT ARENA business objects. For information about how to use the JDBCODA or generate business object definitions from the FRONT ARENA database, refer to the Installation Guide for WebSphere Business Integration Adapters and the Adapter for JDBC User Guide.
