Custom objects of type BOD
Each BOD is composed of these parts:
- A verb that defines an action such as Sync, Process, Acknowledge.
- A noun that defines a business object such as SalesOrder, Customer, Item.
In the Data Catalog, BOD metadata is organized by noun. Therefore, when registering BOD metadata, only the noun name such as SalesOrder is used rather than the full BOD name such as Sync.SalesOrder. The noun metadata includes a list of supported verbs, which define the BODs that can be constructed with that noun.
This structure allows for efficient reuse and management of metadata because multiple BODs can share the same noun definition but differ only in the verb.
BOD object metadata in the Data Catalog is used only by the ION service. The metadata is not consumed by other services or applications unless explicitly integrated through ION.
