Supported data operations (SAP)
For outbound processing, an operation is the name of the action that is implemented by the adapter so that the message flow can perform the operation on the SAP server.
The adapter uses the application-specific information (ASI) inside the business object definition to implement the operation. The name of the operation typically indicates the type of action to be implemented, such as create or update. For inbound processing, adapters implement an operation by delivering events to their endpoints. For inbound processing, the action that is associated with the event varies depending on the interface (ALE or Advanced event processing). When the interface is ALE, the action is pushed to the adapter and the adapter delivers the event to an endpoint. When the interface is Advanced event processing, the event status is polled by the adapter and processed accordingly.
