SYSPRO Reporting Services > SRS Business Objects

SRS Business Objects

SRS Business Objects are the SYSPRO e.net Solutions components which contain the business logic. All the business objects are installed at the time of installing SYSPRO.

Business objects accept XML documents, process the requests and return XML documents as the result.

Business Object Setup

This window is displayed when you select the Business Object Configuration option from the Setup menu (for system administrator operators only) and enables you to maintain the associations between business objects and schemas.

The Report Control function uses these business object associations to determine the default schemas that are displayed when you browse on the Schema In and Schema Out fields.

Business object configurations are saved in the \Base\Schemas\BOCONFIG.xml file on the application server.

Column Description
Business object name  
Business object description  
Schema in This defines the characteristics of a valid XML document that can be supplied to the business object. It is used to create the report form and the filters. SYSPRO supplies the schemas.
Schema out This describes the XML that can be received from the business object and supplied to the report template. SYSPRO supplies the schemas.

Business Object Configuration

You use this function to add and maintain business object configurations.
