Object structures

An object structure is the common data layer that the integration framework components use for outbound and inbound application message processing. An object structure consists of one or more related business objects that define the content of an XML or JSON message (schema).

An object structure provides the message content for channels and services and enables application-based import and export. In addition, an object structure, on its own, can be called as a service, supporting the Create, Update, Delete, Sync, and Query operations.

Note: Use the object structures that are provided with your Manage system whenever possible, instead of creating a new or duplicate object structure. If the outbound integration messages are in the JSON format, you can modify which data is shared from that object structure by creating a message template for the object structure.
