About the Application Development Process

The general sequence of application development tasks starts from the bottom layers and proceeds to the layers above. For example, a generalized sequence of tasks might look like the following:

  1. Create or modify objects in the Business Object Layer:
    1. Business components
    2. Links
    3. Business objects
  2. Create or modify objects in the User Interface Layer:
    1. Applets
    2. Views
    3. Screens
    4. Applications

You must define business components, links, applets, and views in the order shown, or you will encounter application errors. It is also recommended that you define business objects, screens, and applications in the order shown, and then refine their definitions, as required, during the application development cycle.

This chapter covers configuration work at the business objects layer. Subsequent chapters discuss configuring objects in the user interface layer.
