Starting Business Object Designer Express

You can open Business Object Designer Express in any of the ways listed in Table 11. After opening Business Object Designer Express, you can create a business object definition manually or use an Object Discovery Agent to generate a definition for an application-specific business object. For more information, see Developing business object definitions.
