Connector Operations

A service operation is a named set of functionality that is offered by a service. For example, the service operation that creates a new sales order is named SalesSalesOrderService.create. A service can expose multiple service operations. The service operations that a service exposes can include custom service operations. The following table describes some of the common service operations for document services.

Following operations would be performed by MS Dynamics AX 2012 R3 connector:

Operation Description
Create This operation creates a record for a new item in the database. For example, for the sales order service, this operation creates a new sales order. Usually, this operation responds with an entity key that contains the ID of the new item. The new record that is created uses the field values from the record in the message.

An integration port can be Configured to replace existing documents when this service operation is called.

Delete This operation deletes a record in the database. Only records in child tables can be deleted
Find This operation searches for the specified database record.
FindKeys This operation retrieves a list of entity keys that correspond to the specified search criteria. For example, a request can contain a query for customers whose last name starts with the letter T. The response to this query contains a list of key fields and values that you can use to query again for additional data. For example, you can use the key fields to update each customer record in the list that you retrieved.
Read This operation retrieves the specified records from the database. The records that must be read are specified by using entity keys. The response contains the data for the records that are returned.
Update This operation updates a record in the database. Only the fields for whom the values are provided in the message are updated. Values for all other database fields remain unchanged.
getKeys This operation retrieves the keys for documents based on a document filter
getChangedKeys This operation retrieves the keys for documents based on a document filter and a date that is passed in.
