Business Object Definition

Registers a new business object definition which is identified by namespace and name and contains a description and references to an existing namespace and data provider. Business object definition defines a logical structure of data. Each business object definition has a unique name within the namespace. Business object definition is derived from namespace with the following relationships:

• for each one namespace, there could be many business object definitions defined
• for any given business object definition, there is only one namespace

The only data which can but updated is the description and custom meta-data attributes. All other fields are not updatable.

When business object definition is in use (i.e. there are business object formats associated with it), the delete business object definition call will result in a database constraint violation (the HTTP status code 400 "Bad Request").
