| Standard/Specific MethodBusiness objects and business object
components can have the following types of methods: Standard Standard methods can be generated because their behavior is
generic for all business objects. You cannot modify the properties of a
standard method. The following standard methods exist: - Create Create a business object or
component.
- Change Change a business object or
component. The change actually is a change of the attribute values.
- Delete Delete a business object or
component.
- Show Show a business object or component
by returning the attribute values.
- List Show multiple business objects.
- CreateRef Create a record in the reference
table, which indicates that an external application has a reference to the
business object. As long as references exists, the business object cannot be
deleted by LN.
- DeleteRef Delete a record in the reference
table.
- PublishList Publish multiple business
objects. For details, refer to "Event Publishing Overview" in the Web Help of
the Data Director (da) package.
- PublishChanges Publish all changes made to
business objects. For details, refer to "Event Publishing Overview" in the Web
Help of the Data Director (da) package.
- UnpublishChanges Stop publishing of all
changes made to business objects. For details, refer to "Event Publishing
Overview" in the Web Help of the Data Director (da) package.
Specific Specific methods cannot be generated automatically: the essence
of a specific method is that its behavior is business object specific.
Therefore specific methods must be programmed manually. You can define the
name, return type, arguments and arguments properties of a
specific method.
