A plus sign (+) is added next to the attribute that represents child business object to show that there is at least one child business object instance. If you expand the child object attribute, numbered entries are displayed for each instance. The individual instances also have plus signs (+) next to them, so you can expand them and set values for their attributes. To add more child business object instances, right-click the attribute that represents the child object and select Add Instance from the context menu. Note: If the Card property of the attribute that references the child business object is set to the value 1 (indicating it is of single-cardinality), then you will only be able to add one instance of the child object. Removing child business objects To remove an instance of a child business object, right-click the instance and select Remove Instance from the context menu. To remove all instances of a child business object, right-click the attribute that represents the child business object and select Delete All Instances from the context menu. Setting the verb of a child business object You can set the verb of a child business object to test the effect that value has on the business process. This can be helpful when you are troubleshooting logic that involves the cross-referencing of child objects. To set the verb of a child business object instance, right-click it and choose Set Verb from the context menu. When presented with the "Select Verb" prompt, selected the desired verb and click OK. Using the Response BO toolbar You can edit the attributes of a business object received by a destination connector before you send it as a response. The toolbar of the "Response BO" dialog that you use when doing so has several toolbar buttons that can be used to set the values of the business object. For more information, see "Editing response business objects" on page 198. Saving a business object You can save a business object in Test Connector so that it can be used for later tests, shared with technical support (to help troubleshoot problems), or used as response data. You can save any business object, including ones that you have created and ones that appear as requests in the Test Connector window of a destination connector. By default, business objects are saved to a file with a business object extension (.bo). It is recommended that you create a directory or directory structure specifically for test data files, with subdirectories dedicated to each interface or to each connector, as appropriate. This organization makes the necessary files are easy to locate and makes testing more efficient. Furthermore, it is recommended that you give the test data file for a business object the same name as the business object definition itself. Saving request business objects Do the following to save a business object instance that you have created as a request: 1. Select the business object you want to save. Chapter 11.
