Selecting and configuring business objects

Using the list of database objects discovered by the external service wizard, and the query object templates you specified, continue using the wizard to select the database objects that you need to access in your module. Then provide the configuration information for your new business objects.

The Find Objects in the Enterprise System window allows you to select and configure objects in any order, with the exception that you must select and configure a parent table before you can select and configure its child tables. Aside from this restriction, you have the flexibility to add objects individually or to add them several at a time. You can mix objects from the various nodes of the Discovered objects list.

For example, you can select several table objects, a stored procedure object, and a Query statement, and add and configure them at the same time.

The high-level flow of selecting and configuring business objects is as follows:

  1. Select one or more objects in the Discovered objects list of the Find Objects in the Enterprise System window.

  2. Click the > (Add) button.

  3. The wizard opens the Specify the Configuration Properties for 'object' window.

    • If you select a single object, a single Specify the Configuration Properties for 'object' window is displayed.

      Complete that window, specifying the user-configurable attributes and other information that the wizard cannot discover by examining the database, and click OK to save the configuration.

    • If you select multiple objects, the Specify the Configuration Properties for 'object' window displays with one page for each object selected.

      Click the name of each object in turn. The window displays the same information you would see had you selected this object individually.

      Important: Do not click OK until you complete the configuration pages for all the objects. The wizard does not close the notebook until you provide all the required fields, but you can close the window before providing optional fields. If you do not configure the optional fields in the wizard, use the business object editor to configure them after exiting the wizard.

  4. The wizard adds the configured object to the Selected objects list.

As long as you do not exit from the wizard, you can work iteratively to select and configure the business objects you need in your module. However, before you start the wizard to add objects to an existing module, understand the requirements of the program that uses the business objects carefully. The wizard overwrites the existing business objects in the same path.
