Notes
Business Object Designer invokes the init() method to initialize the Object Discovery Agent. It calls init() after its calls to the getAgentProperties() and getMetaData() methods complete. Typically, ODA initialization includes obtaining values for the ODA's configuration properties, establishing a connection to the data source, (which could be an application, database, XML file, or other business object source), and allocating any resources that the ODA requires.
