A business object is usually an inert set of instance variables (a variable defined in a class for which each instantiated object of the class has a separate copy, or instance) or properties. Business objects enable designers to design software in manageable pieces by breaking the business down into a modular form and separating each function into a software object so that as development progresses, increasing complexity can be added without huge changes to the other objects.
Warning! Do not create new folders in the BOD Folders pane. All business objects must be stored in the system-defined Design Business Object Definition folder only. You must also not create subfolders under the Design Business Object Definition folder. Business objects created in or saved to any other location will break.
- Do not create and save business objects to any other location.
- Do not move existing business objects to any other location.
- Do not import business objects into any other location, regardless of the tool used to perform the import.
