Service Execution Modes
Synchronous adapter notifications execute flow services and return values from those services. Integration Server supports the following two execution modes to determine how the notification executes a flow service and returns output:
Service Invoke mode: When this mode is selected, the adapter notification invokes a flow service directly and returns values as output from that service.
Publish and Wait mode: When this mode is selected, the adapter notification publishes the received data either to the local
Integration Server or to
webMethods Broker connected to that
Integration Server by converting request documents into publishable documents, and then waits for a reply. This mode is needed when a synchronous adapter notification is represented as a receive step in a process model.
For steps for specifying execution modes for synchronous adapter notifications, see
Listener Notifications.
