Prerequisites

The BOD/BDE component must have an element marked as the location for custom data. This element can have any name (for BODs it will usually be 'UserArea'), and it must be either an anyType or an attribute group.

Only one custom data element can be used per component. The generated customization library template indicates for which components a custom data location is defined. If no component has a custom data location defined, no customization library template will be generated.

Only columns of tables that are used in the BII for the component can be used.

The custom data must not be in a text or blob column.
