There are two ways of creating a new object type:

  • You create a completely new object type

  • You create an object type as a subtype of an existing object type, which inherits the components of the existing object type automatically. For more information, see Creating Subtypes.

Procedure

  1. Choose   Tools   Business Workflow   Development   Definition Tools   Business Object Builder  .

    This displays the screen Business Object Builder: Initial Screen.

  2. Choose Create.

    The Create Object Type dialog box appears.

  3. Edit the fields Object Type, Object Name, Name, and Description. When doing so, keep in mind the general naming conventions for object types. Leave the field Supertype blank.

  4. Enter the name of a new Implementation program for the implementation of the object type. Keep in mind the naming conventions in your application.

  5. Specify the code letter of your application (usually Y or Z).

Result

You have created a new object type in the Business Object Repository. The system has put all the entries (ID, object name, name, description) into the basic data of the object type automatically.

Note Note

The new object type inherits only the attributes and methods that are in the standard interface, which is supported by all object types.

End of the note.
