Creating Default Business Components

While you are creating a new business component project or package, use the business components page to create entity objects from the specified database objects. Association objects will be automatically created based on key information available in the database schema, as appropriate. You can also use this page to create view objects (including view links) and an application module. Notice that the checkboxes for these business components are selected by default.

You can create objects using this wizard page or you can create objects later using other business component wizards. This page allows you to create a number of objects quickly and easily, using the most common values for each of the options available in the other business component wizards. The options initialized by this wizard can be edited later using the appropriate edit wizards (in the Navigation pane, right-click on a business component and choose Edit.)

The Available list contains the list of database objects that you can use to create entity objects. To select a database object, click its name in the Available list, and shuttle it to the Selected list.

The view object will contain an attribute for each of the attributes in the entity object from which it was created.
