Delete operation
The Delete operation deletes a document in the Lotus Domino server based on the request from the SCA.
The adapter receives the delete request along with the Universal ID of the document. The adapter processes the request and removes the document from the Domino database.
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.
The response business object is sent back to the calling component. The attributes in the business object include Universal ID and information about the result of the operation.
If there are any response documents (children) to the actual document, then all the child documents are also removed from the Lotus Domino server.
When there is a processing error, the Delete operation might throw the InvalidRequestFault or the DocumentNotFoundFault fault. For more information about these business faults, refer to Fault business objects.
