Appendix D. Generating business object definitions using SAPODA

This chapter describes SAPODA, an object discovery agent (ODA), that generates business object definitions for the Adapter Guide for mySAP.com (R/3 V.4.x). Because the connector works with objects that are based on IDoc types, BAPIs, RFC-enabled function modules defined in an SAP system, and SAP tables representing a business process, SAPODA uses these objects to discover business object requirements specific to its SAP data source.

Note:
Familiarity with IDoc types, BAPIs, RFC-enabled function modules within an SAP system, and SAP tables can aid in understanding how SAPODA operates.
Important:
Business object names like attribute name or verb name, must use only characters defined in the code set associated with the U. S. English locale (en_US). For additional information see the Business Object Development Guide.
