The operations that are supported by Advanced event processing business objects vary, depending on whether the business object is an outbound or inbound object. The adapter uses the application-specific information (ASI) inside the business object definition to implement the operation.
The operation of an Advanced event processing outbound business object is invoked by the client application that makes calls to SAP through the adapter. The adapter supports the following outbound operation.
| Operation | Definition |
|---|---|
| Create | The top-level business object and all contained children are created. |
| Update | The top-level business object is modified. This operation can include adding and deleting child objects. |
| Delete | The top-level business object and any contained children are deleted. |
| Retrieve | The top-level business object and any contained children are retrieved. |
For Advanced event processing inbound business objects, the application-specific information of an operation contains the message type, message code, and message function for an IDoc type. The adapter supports the following inbound operations.
| Operation | Definition |
|---|---|
| Create | The top-level business object and all contained children are created. |
| Update | The top-level business object is modified. This operation can include adding and deleting child objects. |
| Delete | The top-level business object and any contained children are deleted. |
For IBM® Business Process Manager or WebSphere® Enterprise Service Bus, the verb value in event table determines the operation name for AEP inbound processing.
For WebSphere Application Server, after the message is received by the endpoint, the adapter the verb value in the event table to determine the operation that is set in OutputRecord().
