Adding business objects to ICLs

For a connector to make use of a business object, the business object must be designated as a supported business object for that connector. You must designate the supported business objects when you configure the connector using Connector Configurator. To do that , you must first add the business object definition files to the same integration component library that contains the connector.

This is done through System Manager, as follows:

  1. In the System Manager perspective, under Integration Component Libraries, expand the folder for an Integration Component Library project that you have created.
  2. Select the folder Business Objects.
  3. From the System Manager menu, choose File>Import.
  4. The Import (Select) dialog appears. Select File system and choose Next.
  5. The Import (File System) dialog appears. Use the Browse menu to navigate to a folder than contains business object definitions, in the form of *.xsd files, that you want to use.
  6. Check the boxes for the files you want to use. By default, check Create selected folders only. Choose Finish.
  7. After the dialog closes, select the Business Objects folder again in your Integration Component Library project folder. Right-click and choose Refresh View. The business object defintions that you imported will now be visible in your Business Objects folder.
