Business Object Package Files

Business Object Package file formats encapsulate the following:

• Business Object Interfaces

Each of these elements can be created specifically for the Package as it is built. Alternatively, an existing Package file can be copied, Interface files and Point definition files can be imported for use from outside sources, or files can be exported for use in related tasks.
