vPort information

vInstance ID

vDummy key (as the business object creation will fail without a key)

vTwo single cardinality attributes representing the input and output types for the operation. The attributes are named as BOPrefix_in_operation_type and BOPrefix_out_operation_type.

Example: The wrapper BO for the operation persistOrder is i2BO_persistOrder.

i2bo_persistorder Port=TDM

MO_Instance

InstanceId

Default Value=prapulla2k

DummyKey

i2bo_in_persistorder_order Type-input

i2bo_out_persistorder_order Type=output

2.Save the wrapper business object to a file. Saving it to the InterChange server will fail because the corresponding dependent attribute business objects have not yet been created by the XML ODA schema.

Guideline: When you save the business objects into a file in this step, the current Business Object Designer wizard looks at the machine where the agent is running. Another pop-up window prompts you for a location to save the generated wrapper business objects.

Complete the business object and generate the business objects for the types

1.Check the property values that Business Object Designer displays in the BO Properties window. If you are satisfied with the value you previously entered in the Configure Agent window (for example, for DefaultBOPrefix), you do not need to change the value here.

2.Be sure the XML schema ODA agent is running.

a.The XML schema ODA reads the schema files previously saved to the SchemaFileLocation and generates the business objects for the input and output types.

b.Save these business objects to the same directory as the wrapper business objects.

Guideline: The BOPrefix for the XML schema ODA should be the same as the BOPrefix for the i2 ODA.
