Defining Business Objects

The topics in this section describe how to maintain business objects.

Note that several context sensitive dashboard zones appear on this page and are visible on all tabs.

• Schema Tips. This zone provides several links to launch help topics related to valid schema syntax and UI Hint syntax in one click.

• View UI Rendering. This zone provides buttons to view the automatic rendering of the Display map or Input map based on the attributes defined in the schema, including UI hints.

• Generate Schema. This zone includes a button that can be used to generate a “physical” schema based on the maintenance object definition. The element names are taken from the Java field name for each column. Once generated, adjust the schema as desired.

• Create a BO Algorithm. This zone includes a button to create a script based algorithm related to this business object. You are then prompted for information regarding the plug-in spot (BO or BO Status) and the system event, the name, description, etc. Once all the information is provided, the system creates an algorithm type, algorithm, links the algorithm to the business object, creates the script and brings you to the script step to start defining the logic for the plug-in script.

• BOs Linked to the MO. This zone displays other business objects for the same maintenance object as the BO currently displayed. You may drill into any of the other BOs by clicking its description.
