Operation Sets

Operation sets (linked operations) can be executed as follows:

• The input message is validated according to the generated input schema for the current operation set. This operation set must be continued for the current target configuration (adapter target). This means that you must create it using iWay Explorer before processing. If no operation with a defined name is found, then the corresponding exception is generated. If an XPath expression is found as a value for some node, then it will not be validated.
• The input message is separated into request units. These request units are simple requests for some entity or operation pair. Each request unit is processed without validation. If an XPath expression is found as a value for some node, then the corresponding value from the previous response will be substituted. If no value is found, then an empty value is returned. An invalid XPath expression returns a corresponding exception.

  The following is an example of an XPath expression:

  <is:Status>${//crm:account.Create.Response/crm:EntityList/crm:Entity/crm:Status}</is: Status >

  Note: XML Path Language (XPath) version 1.0 is currently supported.
