| | Class | Description |
|---|
.png) | AccessControlledMetadataObject |
Represents a Business Data Catalog metadata object whose access can be controlled by permissions. All 13 metadata objects and ApplicationRegistry inherit from this class and therefore, can be controlled by permissions. This class cannot be instantiated.
|
| Action |
Represents an action in the Business Data Catalog.
|
| ActionParameter |
Defines the parameters the action URL accepts.
|
| ApplicationRegistry |
Provides access to all the line-of-business (LOB) systems and LOB system instances registered in the Business Data Catalog. This is the top-level object in the Business Data Catalog's object model. It enables you to read all the metadata objects including LOB system, entities, and methods.
|
| Association |
Represents a relationship between two or more related entities within a line-of-business (LOB) system.
|
| DataClass |
Represents the base class for all entities.
|
| DefaultValue |
Represents a default value for a part of an input parameter of a back-end method.
|
| DuplicateMetadataObjectException |
This is just like the InvalidMetadataObjectException class, except that it includes a reference to the duplicate object as well as which field is causing the collision. These fields are not guaranteed to be populated; it is a best effort. When they are populated, they will contain the correct information.
|
| Entity |
Represents an entity such as Customer or Product, in a line-of-business (LOB) application.
|
| ExceededMetadataObjectLimitException |
This exception is thrown when the metadata object limit is exceeded.
|
| Field |
Represents a column returned from the business application. This essentially wraps the TypeDescriptor describing the column in the metadata definition.
|
| FieldCollection |
Represents a collection of fields returned by a business application.
|
| FilterDescriptor |
Filters are the fundamental way in which the Business Data Catalog captures user (or system) input and plumbs it through to the backend API invocation. FilterDescriptors describe where in a complex series of parameters, a filter value should be inserted. This is accomplished by 'tagging' the TypeDEscriptors representing complex parameters of a Method definition to flag where the insertion should happen. It is important to note that the backend must supply the functionality for filtering; the FilterDescriptors merely form a mechanism to surface this to the end user. FilterDescriptor objects are owned (contained) inside Method objects. They are subsequently referred by TypeDescriptor objects.
|
| FilterDescriptorCollection |
Represents a collection of filters associated with an entity.
|
| Identifier |
Represents the persistent and unique identity of entity instances.
|
| IdentifierCollection |
Represents a collection of identifiers associated with an entity.
|
| InvalidMetadataObjectException |
This exception is thrown if the metadata object you are trying to access or create is invalid.
|
| InvalidMetadataPropertyException |
This exception is thrown if a metadata property is invalid.
|
| LobSystem |
Represents a source of business data, business logic, or both. SAP R/3 IDES, Siebel 7.5, and AdventureWorks SQL Server 2000 sample database are examples of LobSystem objects.
|
| LobSystemInstance |
Represents an LobSystemInstance object that is registered in the Business Data Catalog.
|
| MetadataException |
Represents an exception thrown by a metadata object.
|
| MetadataObject |
Represents the abstract base class of the 13 metadata objects in the Business Data Catalog.
|
| MetadataObjectNotFoundException |
This exception is thrown if the requested metadata object cannot be found in the Business Data Catalog.
|
| Method |
Represents operations related to an entity that you can perform in the line-of-business (LOB) application. Methods represent pointers to business logic in a business application. Examples of methods are "get a list of customers," "get the order with a specified ID," and "update the unit price of a product."
|
| MethodInstance |
Describes how to call a method. A MethodInstance object is a reference to a method, plus the default values for the parameters.
|
| MissingMetadataPropertyException |
This exception is thrown if a metadata object definition is missing a required property.
|
| NamedActionDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of Action objects from the Business Data Catalog.
|
| NamedActionParameterDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of ActionParameter objects from the Business Data Catalog.
|
| NamedAssociationDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of Association objects from the Business Data Catalog.
|
| NamedDataClassDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of DataClass objects from the Business Data Catalog.
|
| NamedEntityDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of Entity objects from the Business Data Catalog.
|
| NamedLobSystemDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of LobSystem objects from the Business Data Catalog.
|
| NamedLobSystemInstanceDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of LobSystemInstance objects from the Business Data Catalog.
|
| NamedMethodDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of Method objectsfrom the Business Data Catalog.
|
| NamedMethodInstanceDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of MethodInstance objects from the Business Data Catalog.
|
| NamedPropertyDictionary |
Represents a dictionary of Property objects from the Business Data Catalog.
|
| Parameter |
Represents the in, inout, out and return parameters of each method.
|
| ParameterCollection |
Represents a collection of Parameter objects.
|
| TypeDescriptor |
Defines the data type of a parameter for a method.
|
| TypeDescriptorCollection |
Represents a TypeDescriptor collection.
|
| View |
A View denotes the schema, or the set of fields contained by an Entity Instance.
