Creating a DDP Business Object
You can define DDP business objects for source applications regardless of their type (DDP and non-DDP). DDP business objects are indicated by the DDP check box in the Business Object screen.For DDP business objects that have more than one top-level table, one data object must be flagged as the primary data object, by which the raw message will be identified based on the value of the data identifier field of that data object; this is usually tContextInfo. When you load a DDP business object, tContextInfo is marked by default as being the primary data object. This is indicated on the screen by the selection of the Primary check box.Use the following steps to create a new DDP business object.1 In the left-hand Business Objects frame, click New. For a non-DDP source application type, the New Business Object box displays.
Note: For a DDP source application type, the Load Schema box displays directly.
