Using SAPODA in Business Object Designer

This section describes how to use SAPODA in Business Object Designer to generate business object definitions. For information on launching Business Object Designer, see the IBM WebSphere InterChange Server Business Object Development Guide.

After you launch an ODA, you must launch Business Object Designer to configure and run it. There are six steps in Business Object Designer to generate a business object definition using an ODA. Business Object Designer provides a wizard that guides you through each of these steps.

After starting the ODA, do the following to start the wizard:

  1. Open Business Object Designer.
  2. From the File menu, select the New Using ODA... submenu.

    Business Object Designer displays the first window in the wizard, named Select Agent. Figure 36 illustrates this window.

To select, configure, and run the ODA, follow these steps:

  1. "Select the ODA".
  2. "Configure initialization properties".
  3. "Expand nodes and select objects".
  4. Confirm selection of objects.
  5. Generate the definition and, optionally, Provide additional information.
  6. Save the definition.
