Create the metaobject for polling

Once the business objects are created, you need to create the metaobjects for polling using the CSM. These objects shall have the i2MO prefix followed by the operation. The attributes need to have a default value. This information is used during polling to register the specific operation and check the output from i2 applications for the registered operation.

The following diagram shows the structure of the i2 metaobject for i2

MO_Operation. The diagram shows the attributes of the metaobject--the instance ID, operation, and business object wrapper name.
