Implementing OAGIS BODs for LN

Caution:

With Enterprise Server 8.4.2, BOD-related functionality is not generally available. Do not create BODs or BOD-based integrations without prior written consent from Infor. No support will be given on the use of BODs (unless agreed otherwise).

The LN Studio is used to create business interface implementations for LN. In addition to BDE implementations also BOD implementations can be created.

BOD implementations differ from BDE implementations with respect to the offered methods. BOD implementations are able to receive and publish BODs, while BDEs use a request-response paradigm and offer standard methods such as Create, Change, Delete, List and Show. However, BOD implementations are very similar to BDE implementations with respect to the noun part (the data structure of components and attributes) and with respect to the technical implementation in LN.

This chapter explains how to create business interface implementations for handling BODs in LN:

Overview provides an overview of the way BODs are handled in LN.
Modeling and Implementation describes how to model the business interface for a BOD using the LN Studio.
Publishing BODs from the LN Application explains how to publish BODs from the LN application.
