Configure the selected objects

To configure the business object, you specify information about the object (such as the operation associated with the object).

Make sure you have selected and imported the ALE IDoc.

To configure the business object, use the following procedure.

Procedure

1. Select an IDoc to configure from the IDocs selected pane.

   You can select multiple IDocs to configure.

   Figure 1. The Specify Composite Properties window to configure the inbound service operation.

   

2. Select an operation (for example, Create) from the Service operation drop-down list.

   For each selected IDoc and receiving partner, you can configure the service operation. In addition to the default existing service operations which are Create, Update and Delete, you can specify a new operation by entering an operation name in the Service operation field.

3. Click Add to add the identifiers you want to associate with the operation. From the IDoc Identifiers for the service operation: list, select a set of identifiers to associate the Receiving partner, IDoc message type, message code, and message function values with the selected service operation. At run time, the adapter uses these values to identify the service operation at the endpoint for invocation. You can associate multiple identifiers for a single service operation.

   New operation will be added to the list only if you associate an identifier with the operation.

4. In the Business object namespace field, use the default namespace (http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/j2ca/sap) except in the following circumstance. If you are adding the business object to an existing module and the module already includes that business object (from an earlier run of the external service wizard), change the namespace value.

   For example, you could change the namespace to http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/j2ca/sap1.

5. To indicate where the business object information should be stored, type the path to the location in the Folder field. This is an optional step.

   The above two fields cannot be edited if you are modifying existing artifacts.

   If you are creating multiple adapter artifacts within a module, ensure that you specify different business object folders for each adapter within the module.

   For example, if you are creating artifacts for Oracle, JDBC, SAP, and JDE within a module, you need to create different relative folders for each of these adapters. If you do not specify different relative folders, the existing artifacts are overwritten when you generate new artifacts.

6. If you want the IDoc or IDocs to be enclosed within a business graph, leave Generate a business graph for each business object selected. Otherwise, remove the check.

7. Click Next.

Results

You have associated an operation with an identifier. The Specify the Service Generation and Deployment Properties window is displayed.

What to do next

Generate a deployable module that includes the adapter and the business object.
