Configuring Delete Operation Adapter Services

Use the Delete Operation template to configure an adapter service that deletes records from your organization's data. For example, you might configure an adapter service that deletes contacts from the Contact Salesforce object. The Delete operation wraps the delete call of the Salesforce.com Web service API.

The input to the adapter service includes an ID String List. At run time, pass the adapter service the ID of each record to delete. Each ID is a String value within the ID String List.

As a response, the Salesforce.com delete call returns a DeleteResult object. The adapter service returns the information from the DeleteResult object as output.

Output Variable	Description
id	String The ID of a deleted record.
success	Boolean Whether the delete call successfully deleted a record.
errors	String List If success is false, errors provides the error codes and descriptions of the errors that the delete call encountered.

The IDs of the records to delete in the ID String List input parameter map to the output in the results Document List.
