Notes on conversion

Any member of a data structure of type STRING, LONG, or FLOAT is mapped as an attribute of the same name and of type STRING.

Any object member in a data structure is converted to a child object of the same name but of type <boprefix><data structure name>.

The business object names and the attribute names can have up to 80 alphanumeric characters and underscores. Abide by this convention when naming the top-level data structure or the member name in the fdl. Otherwise, prepare a mapping table and specify the mapping table file using the -m command option.

The mapping table file should be in the following CSV format:

When you specify the -m option and the mapping file name and path (as needed), the

 <name1 in FDL>
 

is replaced with

<mapped name1>
 

in the generated business object definition file.
