Business object information
A business object is a structure that contains the data required by the adapter to perform an operation. The name of the business object is generated by the wizard in accordance with the naming convention for the adapter.
- Business object attributes for operations
Business object attributes define the content of a business object which is simply a container for the data specified in the attributes. The structure of the data in the database is defined by the business object, but data in the database is in the business object attributes for operations.- Supported operations
Each business object is associated with an operation. WebSphere Adapter for IBM i supports three different operations: GetQueue, PutQueue, and CallPGM.- Naming conventions
When the external service wizard generates a business object, it provides a name for the business object that reflects the naming convention for the adapter. Typically, the business object name indicates the structure of the business object.
