Outbound operations

Application components use operations to perform actions, such as retrieving data from databases in the Lotus Domino server. The adapter provides certain outbound operations. The name of the operation typically indicates the type of action that the adapter takes, such as Create or Update.

During outbound processing, the calling component (part of SCA application) calls the adapter to connect and work with business data on the Lotus Domino server. All interactions between the calling component and the server are request-response type.

• Create operation
  The Create operation creates a document in the Lotus Domino server with the specified content.
• Update operation
  The Update operation updates a document in the Lotus Domino server based on the request from the SCA.
• Exists operation
  The Exists operation checks if a document exists in the Lotus Domino server.
• RetrieveAll operation
  The RetrieveAll operation is used to retrieve the documents from the database in the Lotus Domino server that matches the values specified in the search fields.
• Retrieve operation
  The Retrieve operation extracts a document content based on the request from the SCA.
