Services configured with the Delete template delete an entry from the AR System database. The entry to delete is identified by the name of the AR System form for the entry along with the entry ID for the entry.

At design time, you identify the AR System form that the Delete adapter service is to use. You can also optionally supply the entry ID of the entry to delete. Alternatively, the entry ID can be supplied at run time. The output signature of the Delete adapter service contains a String that holds the status (or outcome) of the delete operation (Success or Failure); you cannot modify the output signature.

At run time, the Delete adapter service uses the AR System Java APIs to delete the entry specified by the form name and entry ID.

If the Delete operation is successful, the adapter service returns a String. If the operation is unsuccessful, the adapter service throws an AdapterException or AdapterConnectionException. For more information about how the adapter handles exceptions, see Adapter Logging and Exception Handling.
