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 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server that it uses to build the business object.

When the external service wizard provides a name for the business object, it converts the name of the object to mixed case, which means that it removes any separators, such as spaces or underscores, and then capitalizes the first letter of each word.

For example, if the external service wizard uses a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 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, business objects names have no semantic value to the adapter. This means that 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 of the business object dependencies. For instructions on using refactoring to rename business objects, refer to the following link: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v7r5mx/topic/com.ibm.wbpm.wid.bpel.doc/selector/topics/trefacts.html.

Naming conventions
Element Naming convention Example
Name of the business graph The business graph that contains the parent business object is named for the contained business object, followed by the string "BG." GetEffectiveAddressContainerBG
Name of the business object container <name_of_business_object> Container GetEffectiveAddressContainer
Name of the business function Name of the business function discovered by the external service wizard GetEffectiveAddress
Name of the XML List Name of the XML List table discovered by the external service wizard F0116

Business graph generation is optional and is supported for IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus only.
