About creating information objects
The IO Design perspective in BIRT Designer Professional enables you to create information objects. Before you can create an information object, you must:
*Create data connection definitions for the data sources.
*Create maps:
*Create maps to represent database tables and views.
*Create external procedures and maps to represent stored procedures and ODA data source queries and their result sets.
