Business object application-specific information

Application-specific information in business object definitions provides the connector and the data handlers with instructions on how to process business objects. Application-specific information for a TPI business object must meet the requirements of both the connector and the data handler used to process the business object.

Connector requirements for application-specific information

The TPI connector uses application-specific information at the business object level to identify the child meta-object. When converting a business object, WebSphere Business Integration Adapter-delivered data handlers do not include as part of the output stream the contents of child meta-objects with the type = cw_mo_cfg tag in the application-specific information. The meta-object name must also be included with the cw_mo_cfg tag in the application-specific information of the parent object.

In the top-level business object header, the application-specific information specifies the name of the meta-object with the following syntax:

cw_mo_cfg=<meta-object attribute name>

In the child business object attribute for the meta-object, the application-specific information specifies the type of the meta-object, and follows this syntax:

type=cw_mo_cfg

Data handler requirements for application-specific information

In addition to the connector's requirements for application-specific information, you must consider the requirements of the specific data handler used to process each business object. See the Data Handler Guide for more information on the application-specific information requirements for each data handler.
