There are two ways to create a business object definition:
- Manually--Useful when creating a generic business object or a simple
business object, or when modifying a definition generated by an Object
Discovery Agent. Business Object Designer Express provides a graphic
interface for the manual creation of a business object definition. This
section provides a tutorial that explains:
- Using an Object Discovery Agent--Useful when creating an
application-specific business object. The
Object Discovery Agent examines specified entities in the
application, "discovers" the elements of those objects that correspond
to business object attributes and the properties of each attribute, and
generates the business object definition. For more information, see "Using the ODA to create business object definitions"..
