# Creating Business Components

#### Creating a Business Component Project

1. Select the File | New menu item. This launches the New Project dialog.

2. Name your business component project and its default package.

3. When you are finished, click the OK button.

#### Business Component Project Wizard

BCED launches the Business Component Project Wizard:

1. If the Welcome panel 1 appears, click Next.

2. On the Connection panel, select a connection to the database from the dropdown list. If no connections are defined or if you want to define a new connection, click Add.

   1. The Connection Dialog is displayed, allowing you to define a connection to a database. At this point, you can only create a JDBC connection.

   2. Click Test Connection to try out your connection. If the connection succeeds, click OK to dismiss the Connection Dialog.

   3. Click Next to save your connection information.

3. The Package Name panel allows you to create the initial package name for your project. By default, it uses the name you defined in the New Project dialog. Click Next.

4. You create Entity Objects from the specified database objects from the Business Components panel.

   1. Table objects are selected by default, but you can choose Tables, Views, Synonyms, and/or Snapshots.

   2. Select an object from the Available list and transfer it to the Selected list by clicking the '>' button or double-clicking the object.

   3. You can transfer all objects by clicking the '>>' button. By default, BCED creates View Objects, View Links, and Application Modules for you. Click Next or Finish.

5. The last panel is the Finish panel. Click Finish to dismiss the wizard.

The Business Component Project Wizard will create the Business Components and display them in the Navigation pane.

> Note: You can create more objects using the specific wizards, for example the Entity Object Wizard or the Application Module Wizard. You can also modify any of the objects created by the Business Component Project Wizard with the object editors. You access the object editors by selecting an object from the Navigation pane, then selecting the Object | Edit [BC Object] menu item

1. All BCED wizards have a 'Display this page next time' checkbox that allows you to switch off display of its Welcome page.
