Substituting Business Components

Use the Substitutions page of the Business Components Project Editor when you have created an extended object, for example, DeptExtended from Dept, and you want to substitute in your new extended object for all instances of the base object; you want all instances of Dept to be replaced with DeptExtended.

Note: You must select the same type of Business Component in the Available and Substitute lists. You cannot, for example, substitute a view object for an entity object.

Field
