Developing business objects for the RFC Server Module

This chapter describes business objects and business object handlers required for the RFC Server Module. It provides background information and discusses how the business object generation utility, SAPODA, generates the definitions. The chapter assumes you are familiar with how the connector processes business objects. For more information on business object processing in the RFC Server Module, see Overview of the RFC Server Module.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Business object development for the RFC Server Module consists of creating an application-specific business object definition and an associated RFC Server-specific business object handler for each RFC-enabled function that you want to support. Because SAPODA uses the SAP application's native definitions as a template when generating definitions for each of these, it is recommended that you use SAPODA to generate these definitions.

Note:
SAP supports many methods that can be mapped to the standard verbs (Create, Update, Delete, and Retrieve) that the connector supports. You can develop business objects and RFC Server-specific business object handlers to support any method used by RFC-enabled functions.

Note:
Once you have created business objects and RFC Server-specific business object handlers, you must make sure that you register the RFC Server Module with the SAP Gateway. For more information, see Registering the RFC Server Module with the SAP gateway..
