Application Connection to Object Services

Use

Application developers who want to use the object services for their Business Objects can access them through a small number of program steps. There you can decide which object services you want to offer and how the object services are to be offered (for example, in the toolbox or in the context menu).

Prerequisites

The generic object services can only be used for objects of the Business Object Repository Browser (BOR). Your object type must therefore be created and released in the BOR. For further information see Creating Object Types.

Process

Publish your business object. Here, you can use one of the procedures listed below to help you.
