Creating business object definitions

To create the business object definitions to be used by the connector, you have several options, all of which are covered in detail in the Business Object Development Guide.

Note:
WebSphere Business Integration Adapters uses only application-specific business objects, not generic business objects. All references to business objects throughout this book refer to application-specific business objects. Generic business objects are used in business integration systems based on the WebSphere InterChange Server integration broker. Some of the books in the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters library, such as Business Object Development Guide are also part of the WebSphere InterChange Server library and refer to both types of business objects.
The options for creating business object definitions are as follows:

In addition, many adapters come with sample business objects. If they are included, the samples are located in the following product directory:

Once you create the business object definitions for application-specific business objects, read Appendix F, Using Visual Test Connector, which explains how to test the business object definitions once you have created them.
