The Select a schema file page of the New Business Entity wizard allows you to define schema and Data Object operations that you want to generate for a Business entity class file. You can expose the Data Object interface annotated Business entity class file as a Data Object resource.
This page includes the following controls:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Resource Name | Displays the Business entity name specified in the Business entity name field. You can enter a different name. This is an alias of the Business entity class name. |
| Read-Only operations | Specifies the access method as a read-only
operation. The ABL code (including the Data Object interface
annotations) is generated with Read
method. Note: When you select dataset with
multiple relations, Invoke
methods are also generated for each temp-table.
|
| CRUD operations | Specifies the access method for the operation as create, read, update, or delete. The ABL code (including the Data Object interface annotations) is generated with predefined CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) operations. |
| CRUD and Submit operations | Specifies the access method for the operation as Create, Read, Update, Delete, or Submit. |
| Write dataset before image | Writes the before-image data to the new Business entity class
file. Note: The Write dataset before image
option is selected by default if the CRUD and
Submit option is selected. The before-image data
is required to perform the submit operation.
|
| Select database table | Creates a Business entity class from the selected database table. |
| Connection | (Required if Select database table is selected) Specifies the database connection that you want to use to dynamically define the temp table. |
| Table | (Required if Select database table is selected) Specify the database table from selected database connection. |
| Select schema from file | Creates a Business entity class from the selected schema file. |
| Schema file | (Required if Select schema from file is
selected) Specifies a schema for the defined Business entity class.
The schema can be either a temp-table or dataset. Click
Browse to select a schema file. If you select schema file, which is from your current workspace, only the relative path of the project is displayed in the Schema file field. If the selected schema file is from outside your workspace, then the absolute path is displayed. Note: If a schema file is not
selected, the Business entity class file is generated with a
default dataset and a single temp-table.
|
| Schema | (Required if Select schema from file is selected) Displays a list of all the temp-tables and datasets of the selected file. |
| Include file | Is enabled if the selected schema file is an include
(.i) file. Note: If the selected schema file is an include file, then it is
included in the Business entity class file.
|
| Schema definition | Copies the selected schema definition to a Business entity class
file. This is the default option. Note: This option is
enabled if the selected schema file is a procedure
(.p or .w), a
class (.cls), or an include
(.i) file.
|
| Class Hierarchy | Enables you to select the schema definition from class hierarchy. |
| Expose as Data Object Service | Adds Data Object interface annotations to the
defined Business entity class file and exposes it as a Data Object
resource. Note: If the Expose as Data Object Service
check box is clear, the Business entity class is generated
without the Data Object interface annotations. The defined
Business entity class file cannot be exposed as a Data Object
resource. Alternatively, you can use the Define Service Interface wizard
to add Data Object interface annotations to a Business entity
class file.
|
| Finish | Completes the wizard and opens the defined Business entity class including the Data Object interface annotations in the ABL Editor. This also completes the generation of Data Object resource from the Business entity class file. |
