Opening a definition from a file

To open a business object definition that is stored in a local directory, do the following:

  1. Click File -> Open From File.

    The Import dialog box opens. The dialog box defaults to filter files of type XML Schema Definition (with a .xsd extension). You can also select a different file type from the Files of type list, or you can select all file types.

  2. In the Import dialog box, browse until you locate the file, select it, and click Open. Figure 24 illustrates this dialog box.
    Note:
    If Business Object Designer is not running from System Manager, the To Project list, which lets you specify the ICL-based project to receive the imported business object definition, is omitted from the dialog box. Instead, the business object definition is imported into your local project.

    Figure 24. Import Business Objects dialog box

If the Open the imported business objects check box is selected then Business Object Designer also opens the business object definition for editing. Otherwise, the business object definition is imported into the project but not opened for editing. For more information, see "Working with business object definitions".
