Q&A
 What's a Business Object ?
Symbolic Representation of Data in grouped
format which has a significance from Business
point of View.

It makes Data display and Data manipulation

Easier.

It must be identified by a unique key.

It will have other attributes describing its nature

Example of Business Object:

ID(key)
Name
Description
Date

 Conceptualize Business Object in ABAP

Object

Sample Code:
Data : lr_entity TYPE REF TO cl_business_object1.

create object lr_entity .

lr_entity->set_property1( ).
lr_entity->set_ppropery2().
 ISSUE : Too many classes if we have one class for every business object .

SOLUTION : Will use a single class which will use different structure for different
business objects.
Business Object1
( Structure1 )

Business Object2
( Structure2 )
CL_CRM_BOL_ENTITY
Business Object3
( Structure3 )

Business Object4
( Structure4 )

Business Object5
( Structure5 )
 Business Object Relations

•Business Objects are linked using the concept called ‘RELATION’.

Relation 1 ( 1:1 )
A C

Relation 2 ( 1 : n )
Relation 3 ( 1: {0…n})

 CRM Terminology for Business Objects
Root Object: This is the top most object in any BOL hierarchy. There can be
more than one root objects in a BOL component.

Dependent Object: It’s a kind of object which we want to give meaning only in
the context of root object.Not independently.

Access Object: Through this object I can access the child object data without
traversing from top i.e. root object.

Search Object: This object defines the format/parameters with which we want
to perform the search.

Search Result Object: This object defines the format in which we want to
fetch the objects.
Advance Search Object: This object is very similar to search object, only
difference is the search object is formed dynamically depending on the field
selected by user on UI.
 Relations and Cardinality

Relation Types:
Association: Root objects can be linked with each other by association.

Aggregation: Parent child kind of relation where there is not strong bonding.

Composition: Parent child kind of relation where bonding is very strong.

Cardinality:
•1:1
•1:{1..n}
•1:{0..n}

GENIL Concept

Q&A
GenIL : Generic Interaction Layer

• It’s a class which the facilitates the data transfer between BOL and Database tables by calling APIs.

• For a group of Business Objects ( BOL Component ) we define a GenIL class.

• It may call Framework methods ( CGPL , ONEORDER ) instead of calling the APIs.

• It gets the data out of Business entity and formats them in the required format for API or Next Layer of Framework.
