How to: Create an LobSystem Using the Administration Object Model
To create metadata for a business application, you start by creating an LobSystemobject. Using the Administration object model to create the object is very similar to writing the metadata in XML. Both methods follow the metadata model described in Business Data Catalog: Metadata Model.
The following code example shows how to create an LobSystem and set connection parameters.
Important
The default installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 does not include the AdventureWorks 2000 database. If you want to use the AdventureWorks database, download the AdventureWorks SQL Server 2000 sample database from the Microsoft Download Center. Also, if you plan to use PassThrough authentication, install the database on the computer on which Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is installed.
Example
The following code example shows you how to create an LobSystem object and set connection parameters.
Prerequisites
Ensure a Shared Service Provider is already created.
Replace the constant value EnterYourSSPNameHere in the code with the name of your Shared Resource Provider.
