(GLUE-1808) Activate Business Object

General Settings

Following attributes are available in General Settings Tab:

• Storage ID (Load) - Mandatory field, defines connection to Hadoop cluster which will be used for creation of the tables, and loading of the data. If following field (StorageID (Query)) is not defined, this storage is used for query execution as well.
• Delta Type - defines mechanism for data synchronization (see Extractor Workbench for more information)
• Package Size - defines maximal number of records transferred within 1 request
• Use meaningful fields - when enabled, meaningfull field names are used, instead of standard SAP names (see DDIC)
• Use meaningful field values - more explanatory values are used on places (see DDIC)

You can display Business Object via double clicking on it in the 'Glue workbench' tree. This displays BO on the screen. Each business object has 3 tabs, General Settings, Properties and the Documentation(this is the same documentation as in the prototype). On the first tab, user must fill Storage IDs for Load, Delta type and Package size(number represents number of records in a single package). Also there are two checkboxes to setup meaningull fields and meaningfull values. Required entries could look like this:

Second tab(Properties) displays all SAP tables and corresponding filters for Business Object. If delta type is VALUE, TIMESTAMP or DATE, user must fill 'Delta field name' for every table in the 'Business object tables'. User can also edit custom filter in the 'Business Object Extraction Filters', this is optional. For example Business Object can look like on the next picture:

After everything is being set up, user can activate the BO. Activation will create tables in target storage for every SAP table in Business Object, also with the same structure. If all tables are created, extractors and variants with corresponding filters will be created. After activation, the log is shown:

After activation user can execute Business Object extraction.
