Asynchronous Inbound Integration Processing
Inbound Integration Processing 25
The following framework activities identify the object structures that are
associated with the message:
1 The integration framework retrieves the record from the inbound queue.
2 The integration framework identifies the enterprise service from the retrieved
record.
3 The enterprise service definition lists the object structures that the processing
service uses.
4 The integration framework creates one copy of the enterprise service message
for every object structure that is associated with the enterprise service.
The processing sequence that is associated with the object structure specifies
the sequence in which the subsequent object structure processing is to be
performed on the enterprise service.
The integration framework inbound integration can process numbers in either
standard or scientific notation.
T
IP To see the processing sequence of multiple object structures associated
with an enterprise service, look in the Add/Modify Additional Object
Structures dialog box in the Enterprise Services application. Look for
the processing order field on the Object Structure Sub-Records table
window.
The Enterprise Service main object structure is always processed after all the
additional object structures.
If the integration framework creates copies of the enterprise service message, the
remaining inbound processing actions apply to each copy of the enterprise
service.
Output The output of this activity is one copy of the enterprise service message per object
structure.
User Exit Preprocessing
Summary If you specify custom processing logic in the user exit class, the integration
framework applies custom processing logic to the enterprise service.
You can use a preprocessing method to manipulate the enterprise service before
any predefined processing takes place.
The predefined services do not provide any user exit classes.
T
IP To see if preprocessing customization exists, go to the Enterprise Service tab in the
Enterprise Services application. If the Enterprise Service Configuration and
Enterprise Service Response Configuration table windows show user exit classes,
check each class file for a preprocessing method value.
The same processing class contains the user exit preprocessing, user exit
postprocessing, and user exit object processing methods.
