   Is there anyway to have the BE creation logic add custom logic I want to add? For example, after creating a BE and building I would like to create replication triggers automatically. I was thinking there may be a way for the BE Generator to call some custom generator logic.

   That's an interesting question. 
   I would say you could write your own generator plugin. Look in the Business Entity Designer configuration. 
   Look into one of the other generator classes on how to implement it.

   Hi Roger, a plugin is the way to go. 
   
   Those typically react on the various events of the Business Entity Designer.
   
   The BusinessEntityDatasetController reference is passed to the startup method of a plugin. And based on that reference, you can subscribe those events:
   
               poController:AfterGenerateSource:Subscribe (AfterGenerateSourceHandler) .
               poController:AfterRegenerateSource:Subscribe (AfterGenerateSourceHandler) .
