Creating a Local Business Object

Local business objects can be deployed to SAP Mobile Server and include Object API code generated that performs business functions local to the device application. For example, the local business object can call object queries or persist application specific configuration information locally across application restarts

A local business object is not bound to any data source, has no server runtime artifacts like result set filters or result checkers, and has no effect on the SAP Mobile Server cache database (CDB) and operation replay. For example, a local business object cannot be filtered or synchronized with the CDB, and does not belong to any synchronization or cache groups.
  1. Launch the Local Business Object Creation wizard by selecting the Local Business Object icon from the Palette and dragging it onto the Mobile Application Diagram.
    Note: You cannot create a local business object by dragging and dropping a data source onto the Mobile Application Diagram, since this method automatically binds the MBO to the data source.
  2. On the Attributes Definition page, define the attribute values as you would any other MBO.
  3. Select the Update and/or Delete operations if needed by the local business object (The Create operation is always selected).
  4. Make any changes from the Properties view, if necessary.
    Local business objects support object queries, and are listed (and can be included) in the Code Generation wizard, since local business objects can be referenced in device application code.
