Purpose
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 (BOR). Your object type must therefore be created and released in the BOR. For further information see Creating Object Types.Process Flow
You must publish your business object. Here, you can use one of the procedures listed below to help you.
Description |
Procedure |
This step first depends on whether your object is unique or was first determined dynamically. Normally, the services are offered in the toolbox, which can be called using the symbol next to the title. |
Publishing Unique Object Publishing Dynamically Determined Object |
Alternatively, you can offer the toolbox directly, which offer the services in the context menu of the objects or can start a service directly when calling the objects. |

If you do not want offer certain services for your object, you can exclude these services. |
Publishing Object and Excluding Services |
If the services are to be available during the creation of an object, there are a number of special circumstances that you should keep in mind. |
Creating and Publishing Objects |
You can always only publish one object. If you publish several objects, then it is always the case that only the last publication is valid. Publishing several objects at the same time is not supported in order to achieve a user interaction. The services always refer to the object currently called.
