When editing a business object, you work within the BOD - Business Object Designer window. The buttons described in this section are available for each tab of the window's five-tab interface.
By default, the designer is found under the Tools menu.
■ Select Tools > Business object designer. From the toolbar, choose New > Design Business Definition, or select an existing object, then from the toolbar choose Edit.
Commands
■ Compile - Compiles the BOD object into a DLL but does not save it in the database. Allows you to test the BOD object periodically as you build it, so that errors are easier to track down if they occur.
■ Publish - Compiles the BOD object into a DLL and stores it in the database. Once the object is published, it is available to IQA and other controls within iMIS.
■ Publish for Debug - Compiles the BOD object into a DLL with optimizations disabled and debug symbol generation enabled. The generated source files and program debug information will be placed in the temp folder of the current user (NETWORK SERVICE or ASPNET user for the appserver).
■ Save - Saves changes to the BOD object. Changes will not go live in iMIS until the object has been published. You must save an object before you can compile or publish it.
