  2. Generate business objects using XML ODA delivered with the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for SAP XI.
  3. Configure the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for SAP XI:
    1. Add support for the generated objects.
    2. Define business processes (collaborations) and mapping if necessary.
