    Option

    Description

    Created Packages

    (see also list of packages )

    Function Metadata Retrieval

    The connector will retrieve metadata functions from the target application,

    metadata.functions

    metadata.primitives

    metadata.structures

    The class

    < c_name > InteractionSpecProperty

    in package execution.functions will be generated also if the function execution checkbox is not selected.

    Function Execution

    The connector will execute functions of the target application

    execution.functions

    execution.structures

    Native Query Launching

    The connector will implement the execution of native queries in the target application.

    < connector_name > NativeQuery in package execution.objects is created.

    API Querying and Object Model Metadata Retrieval

    The connector will retrieve the object model of the target application and implement the execution of queries.

    < connector_name >Execution in package execution.objects is created.

    Packages created:

    metadata.objects

    execution.structures

    metadata.primitives

    metadata.structures

    Object Model Relations

    The connector will implement the resolution of relationships of target application objects.

    metadata.relations

    Native Interface to Target Applications

    < connector_name >Query in the package execution.objects and function newQuery() is created in class < connector_name >Connection.

  5. Choose Finish to confirm the input and to start the project generation.

A new project with the specified name and packages is created on the workbench of the IDE. The project is ready for use and can be adjusted or extended.
