Retrieve operation
The Retrieve operation extracts a document content based on the request from the SCA.
The adapter receives the retrieve request along with the Universal ID of the document. The adapter processes the request and extracts the content of the document from the database in the Lotus Domino server.
A document in the Lotus Domino server has a Universal ID and a If ID associated with it. The adapter uses the value set in the Universal ID to search the document in the Domino database. If the Universal ID is not provided in the request business object, the adapter tries to use the value set in the If ID. The adapter throws an error when both the Universal ID and the If ID are not provided in the request business object.
After the content of the document is retrieved, it is sent back as the response to the calling component. The response has the same business object structure as the request business object. The attributes in the business object include the Universal ID and information about the result of the operation.
When there is a processing error, the Retrieve operation might throw the InvalidRequestFault or the DocumentNotFoundFault fault. For more information about these business faults, refer to Fault business objects.
