Request Class Processing
Summary The integration framework applies predefined invocation channel request class
processing logic in the processing class to the request object structure.
An invocation channel request processing class typically implements additional
processing logic and converts data from an object structure format to an
invocation channel format.
The MAXIMO adapter does not provide any predefined invocation channel
processing classes. The XML format for invocation channels, defined within the
MAXIMO adapter, is comparable to the format of the object structure, as no XML
mapping takes place.
T
IP To see if request class processing exists for an invocation channel, go to the
Invocation Channel tab in the Invocation Channels application. On the Service
Request Configuration table window look for a request processing class value.
Output The following table shows the possible request class processing outcomes.
Request User Exit Preprocessing
Summary The integration framework applies custom request processing logic in the user
exit class to the invocation channel.
This option is typically used to customize a predefined invocation channel before
invocation channel request processing takes place. Both the input object structure
and the invocation channel that are created from that object structure are
available.
The MAXIMO adapter does not provide any predefined invocation channels.
T
IP To see if preprocessing customization exists, go to the Invocation Channel tab in
the Invocation Channels application. If the Service Request Configuration table
window shows a request user exit class, check that class file for a preprocessing
method.
Condition Output
No processing class exists. The existing object structure,
unchanged.
The processing class skips the record. None; processing ends.
The processing class stops the record. None; processing ends, and an
exception is returned to the caller of
the invocation channel.
The processing class completes
successfully, without mapping.
The existing object structure, possibly
updated.
The processing class completes
successfully, with mapping.
The invocation channel.
