Creating Object Types 

Use

There are two ways of creating a new object type:

Procedure

  2. This displays the screen Business Object Builder: Initial Screen.

  3. Select Create.
  4. The Create Object Type dialog box appears.

  5. Edit the fields Object type, Object name, Name and Description. When doing so, bear in mind the general naming conventions for object types. Leave the field Supertype blank.
  6. Enter the name of a new program for the implementation of the object type. Bear in mind the naming conventions in your application.
  7. 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.

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