Creating business object definitions

To create the business object definitions to be used by the connector, see the Business Object Development Guide.

Note:
WebSphere Business Integration Adapters used with WebSphere Application Server use only application-specific business objects, not generic business objects. All references to business objects throughout this book refer to application-specific business objects. Generic business objects are used in business integration systems based on the WebSphere InterChange Server integration broker. Some of the books in the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters library, such as Business Object Development Guide are also part of the WebSphere InterChange Server library and refer to both types of business objects.
The options for creating business object definitions are as follows:

In addition, many adapters come with sample business objects. If they are included, the samples are located in the following product directory:

ProductDir\connectors\ConnName\Samples 

To start Business Object Desginer, use the Run command from the Start menu and browse for the BusObjDesigner.exe file. Alternatively, you can create and use a Windows shortuct to BusObjDesigner.exe

For more information about using Business Object Designer, see the Business Object Development Guide.

Once you create the business object definitions for application-specific business objects, read Using Visual Test Connector, which explains how to test the business object definitions once you have created them.
