Events are generated as a result of activity on an application
system. You can use events to trigger an action in your application.
The iWay Application Protocol Adapter for LDAP supports event
handling through the LDAP implementation of outbound messages. To
create an iWay event, you must create a port and a channel using
iWay Explorer. The following is a description of how ports and channels
work.
- Port. A port associates a particular business object
exposed by an adapter with a particular disposition. A disposition
defines the protocol and location of the event data. The port defines
the end point of the event consumption. For more information, see Creating an Event Port.
- Channel. A channel represents configured connections
to particular instances of back-end or other types of systems. A
channel binds one or more event ports to a particular listener managed
by an adapter. For more information, see Creating
a Channel.
