---|---|
Method definition |
Browse for the BAPI or RPC operation from which the attribute or operation is bound. Once selected, the wizard automatically retrieves the meta data (for example, parameters, and input/output tables of the specified BAPI/RPC operation) and builds models for the MBO instance in the table definition.
If you select Browse, the wizard displays a tree that represents the data source from which you can access the BAPI or operation. You can enter text to filter specific SAP business objects, or use the Search BAPIs/RFCs dialog box. Once you select the business object of interest, the associated BAPI operations are listed in the table. Select the operation and click OK. |
Parameters definition | Select the parameters, structure, input tables, or output tables of the BAPI operation and choose one or more table (or columns inside the tables), or output parameters to be mapped as mobile business object attributes. |
Runtime data source credentials | If the data source is protected, and if the user name and password (data source access credentials) are different than the selected connection profile, you need to enter the User Name and Password that provides access. |
Result set filters | Optionally add a result set filter to the MBO. A result set filter is a custom java class that manipulates the rows or columns of data returned from a read operation for an MBO. To write a filter, developers must have previous experience with Java programming — particularly with the reference implementations for javax.sql.RowSet, which is used to implement the filter interface. See Result Set Filters. |
