Description

In B1, it is possible to create data sources and entities based on a Backend Data Source Object (DSO). This implies that there is no need for a physical database with a table in the background. To achieve this, create a Backend DSO and a temporary table. Based on these, an entity is generated. Subsequently, a Data Source Object (DSO) can be created based on the generated entity.

Short description

Create a backend class and a temp table definition → Generate based on the backend class the entity → Generate based on the backend class the DSO→ Generate any object based on the Entity
