Naming conventions

When the external service wizard generates a business object, it provides a name for the business object based on the name of the object in the FTP server that it uses to build the business object. Use the Business Object Editor to create user-defined objects.

external service wizard converts the name of the object to mixed case. The separators, such as spaces or underscores, are removed. Then, the first letter of each word is capitalized.

For example, if the external service wizard uses an FTP server object called CUSTOMER_ADDRESS to generate a business object, it generates a business object called CustomerAddress.

The generated business object name can indicate the structure of the business object. However, the business object's name has no semantic value to the adapter. If you change the business object name, the behavior of the business object remains the same.

Important: If you choose to rename a business object, use the refactoring functionality in IBM Integration Designer to ensure that you update all the business object dependencies. For instructions about the refactoring functionality to rename business objects, see http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v8r0m1/topic/com.ibm.wbpm.wid.bpel.doc/selector/topics/trefacts.html .

Business graph generation is optional and is supported for IBM BPM only.
