Understand the development principals of business objects, extensibility layouts, functions, adaptors and configuration management.


In this section:
    Generic Business Object
    The Extensibility Framework is independent of the underlying data model. Data is represented by generic business objects; the generic business object (BO) is an abstraction introduced on top of the currently supported OData data model.
    Extensibility Layout XML
    Configuration is the core of the Extensibility Framework.
    Functions
    Use functions when you are concatenating strings, formatting strings, counting records in a collection, and setting default values on a control.  All functions begin with $_.
    Data Source Adaptor
    The Extensibility Framework comes with a ready-to-use OData generic business object adapter, which in turn relies on the SDM OData facade library.
    Extensibility Configuration Management
    The Extensibility Framework relies on several configuration files.
