Generating business object definitions

You generate Retek message-specific business object definitions using a set of DTDs containing Retek message structures as input for the Edifects SpecBuilder utility associated with the XML data handler, or by using the XMLBORGEN command line utility.

Once you have generated the message-specific business object definition, you can import it into the Business Object Designer to modify it further. You need to add the header definition manually to each generated business object using the Business Object Designer.

For information about requirements of the XML data handler and for instructions on how to use XML DTDs and the Edifects SpecBuilder utility to translate a DTD into a WebSphere business integration system business object definition, see the Data Handler Guide.

The IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for Retek also provides sample business objects that you can use as models for developing custom business objects for Retek applications. The samples are based on the standard schema for Retek applications.
