Selecting an operation

The choice of operation determines how Cast Iron® Express® monitors and interacts with your Source and Target endpoints. Support for individual operations can vary between implementations. For example, FTP utilizes get and put operations, while salesforce.com supports the upsert and get updated operations.

Before selecting an operation, review the following information to ensure that the activity that you want to use, is supported by the specific endpoint that you are working with.
