The first time Business Object Designer communicates with SAPODA, it prompts you to enter a set of initialization properties. You can save these properties in a named profile so that you do not need to re-enter them each time you use SAPODA. For information on specifying an ODA profile, see the IBM WebSphere Business Object Development Guide.

9 | MaximumHits | String | Maximum
number of objects returned during a node search. For more
information, see Expand
nodes and select objects.
Default is: 100 |
10 | TraceFileName | String | Name of the
trace file. If the file does not exist, SAPODA creates it in the
\ODA\SAP directory. If the file already exists, SAPODA
appends to it.
SAPODA names the file according to the naming convention. For example, if the agent is named SAPODA, it generates a trace file named SAPODAtrace.txt. Use this property to specify a different name for this file. |
11 | TraceLevel | Integer | Level of
tracing enabled for SAPODA
For more information on tracing, see Working with error and trace message files. |
12 | MessageFile | String | Name of the
error and message file.
SAPODA names the file according to the naming convention. For example, if the agent is named SAPODA, it names the message file SAPODAAgent.txt. For more information, see Working with error and trace message files. Important: The error and message file must be located in the \ODA\messages directory. Use this property to verify or specify an existing file. |
13 | File destination | Directory | Directory
where ODA-generated files are stored.
Default is the default directory on the Windows system. It is recommended that you change the default setting to the \connectors\SAP\utilities\generatedfiles directory. |
