Using JDBCODA in Business Object Designer Express

This section describes how to use JDBCODA in Business Object Designer Express to generate business object definitions. For information on launching Business Object Designer Express, see the Business Object Development Guide.

After you launch an ODA, you must launch Business Object Designer Express to configure and run it. There are six steps in Business Object Designer Express to generate a business object definition using an ODA. Business Object Designer Express provides a wizard that guides you through each of these steps.

After starting the ODA, do the following to start the wizard:

  1. Open Business Object Designer Express.
  2. From the File menu, select the New Using ODA... submenu.

    Business Object Designer Express displays the first window in the wizard, named Select Agent. Figure 8 illustrates this window.

To select, configure, and run the ODA, follow these steps:

  1. Select the ODA
  2. "Configure initialization properties"
  3. "Expanding nodes and selecting tables and views"
  4. "Confirming database object selections"
  5. "Generating definitions" and, optionally, "Providing additional information"
  6. "Saving definitions"
