Create a business object for a Maintenance object

Question

Hello,
I want to create a business object for a maintenance object to change all XML attributes to XML elements.
Should I have to change the whole XML Schema from attributes to elements one by one?
For example, I create the business object CM_Person_BO for the maintenance object Person, and use the business object to add user in a more standard way.
But it is a quite large job to rewrite the whole schema for the maintenance object Person, which has following elements, which are PersonIdentifiers, PersonNames, PersonPhones, PersonCharacteristics, Person and SeasAddress.
Is there any easy way to do it?
Thanks,
Kerr

Is there any easy way to do it?Unfortunately not, you will have to define the schema containing each field/element, once. The primary objective is that you should create a scaled down version of the BO having only the required fields or subset of available fields, you may not need all the fields of a MO. This increases performance as the IO is performed only for specified fields in the BO.
You can define separate Data Areas for each Person object's context, i.e. Identifiers, Names, Phones, etc. and include them (includeDA) within the Person BO (CM_Person_BO) for clarity.
