Integration Guide
Object Structure Web Services
External applications can use Web services to query or send messages to the
integration framework. The object structure service contains the logic for
integration message processing.
You can create an object structure Web service from a predefined or a user-
defined object structure. The Consumed By value is INTEGRATION.
Object structure Web services have the following characteristics:
T Support five operations through its Web Service Description Language:
 Create
 Update
 Delete
 Sync
 Query
T Provide response content only for the Create and Query operations
T Provide the primary or alternate key of the primary object that you have
defined in the object structure, as a response to the Create operation
T Provide a response for the Query operation in the object structure XML
schema format
Enterprise Web Services
You can create an enterprise Web service from a predefined or a user-defined
enterprise service.
Enterprise Web services differ from object structure Web services in that the
enterprise Web service supports additional exit processing, business rules, and
transformations not available to object structure Web services. Enterprise Web
services also have the following characteristics:
T A service exists for each operation that is contained in an enterprise
service record (one service per operation).
T When you use the exit processing layer, you can map an external schema
XML to the object structure XML for both the invocation and the response.
T Provide response content only for the Create and Query operations that
are processed in the queue.
T The enterprise service definition notes whether the service supports a
response by using a ProcessResponse flag.
