Backend Tasks: Creating the Model Using SAP Gateway 13.3
Creating Entities for the Monster Header and Monster Items
As you know by now, your monster object has both a header structure and an
item structure. You’re going to declare both of these as entities, and then link
them together.
As always, there are lots of ways to do this. In this case, right-click the Data Model
node and choose Import 폷 DDIC Structure . While doing that, you’ll no doubt
notice the other options, most notably th e option to use a remote-enabled function
module or a BOR object. (A BOR ob ject from Transaction SWO1 is a bona
fide business object as far as I’m concerned, and the fact that this shows up in a
brand-spanking-new SAP technology means that the BOR is back from the dead,
despite SAP trying to unsuccessfully kill it off in 2004.)
Once you’ve created your monster projec t via the screen shown in Figure 13.3,
click the green checkmark; the screen shown in Figure 13.4 appears.
Figure 13.4 Creating a Monster Entity: 1 of 3
In Figure 13.4, you give your entity a name and pick a data structure. As always,
use the BOPF combined header structure. The name here will be used in URLs, so
sticking to the convention of lowercase ex cept the first letter is the way to go.
Click the green checkmark, and Figure 13.5 appears.
