Creating Mobile Business Objects

Create various types of mobile business objects (MBOs) and bind them to data sources to implement mobile application business logic.

To achieve optimal performance of insert, update, and delete operations, as well as client synchronization, the MBO definition must include a well defined primary key. A warning displays if the MBO does not include primary key attribute(s). Local MBOs do not require a primary key definition.

• Creating a Mobile Business Object by Dragging and Dropping a Data Source
  Create a mobile business object (MBO), define the attributes and operations, and bind directly to the data source by dragging and dropping the data source onto the Mobile Application Diagram.
• Creating a Mobile Business Object and Deferring Data Source Binding
  Launch the wizards used to create a mobile business object, attributes, and operations from the Mobile Application Diagram. Then bind the mobile business object to a data source from the Properties view when the data source is available.
• Creating Multiple Mobile Business Objects From a Single Read Operation
  Create multiple mobile business objects (MBOs) from a single read operation, which allows selection of multiple output objects and tables from a single call to the enterprise information system (EIS) to which the MBO is bound.
• 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
