Appendix C. Generating business object definitions using SAPODA

This chapter describes SAPODA, an object discovery agent (ODA), which generates business object definitions for the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for mySAP.com (SAP R/3 Version 4.x). Because the connector works with objects that are based on IDoc types, BAPIs, and RFC-enabled function modules defined in an SAP system, SAPODA uses these objects to discover business object requirements specific to its SAP data source.

Note:
Familiarity with IDoc types, BAPIs, and RFC-enabled function modules within an SAP system can aid in understanding how SAPODA operates.
