WebSphere Adapter for SAP

Metadata of BAPI business objects

Business object application-specific information (ASI), a type of metadata, provides the adapter with application-dependent instructions on how to process business objects.

Metadata information instructions are specified at the following levels:
  • Business object-level for simple BAPI call objects and BAPI transaction objects
  • Operation-level for simple BAPI call objects and BAPI transaction objects
  • Property-level for the following:
    • Business object properties that represent child objects
    • Business object properties that represent an array of child objects

The enterprise service discovery wizard automatically generates the appropriate application-specific information (metadata) for each of these elements. The metadata is in the form of a XSD file, with definitions of the various business object elements (business object, operations, property). It is recommended that you do not change the element names in the generated metadata.
