Metadata of ALE business objects

Business object application-specific information (ASI), which is a type of metadata, provides the adapter with application-dependent instructions on how to process business objects.

Metadata is specified at the following levels:

(Note that there is no metadata at the IDoc Data Record or IDoc Control Record child business object-level.)

The enterprise service discovery wizard automatically generates the appropriate application-specific information (metadata) for each of these elements. The metadata is in the form of an XSD file, with definitions of the various business object elements (business object, operations, property). It is recommended that you do not change the element names in the generated metadata.
