Business Objects (ttadv7100s000)

Use this session to define business objects and their content, such as attributes, methods, and tables.

To define a business object:

  • specify the identification data of the business object, such as the business object name, package and module in the upper part of the session window.
  • define the content of the business object, such as components, tables, attributes, methods, and so on in the tabs in the lower part of the session window.
Note

You can only maintain business objects in your current package VRC.

A new business object is always created in your current package VRC. The Package and VRC fields are filled automatically and cannot be changed. Before you insert a business object, make sure that you have selected the proper current package VRC. You can change your current package VRC via the Specific menu in the Business Objects (ttadv7500m000) overview session.

Dependent on the type and structure of the business object, some tabs may not be available.

  • If the business object is protected, the tabs regarding the public interface are not available.
  • If the business object has components, some tabs are not available, because the tables and the protected methods and attributes must then be defined per component.
