Listeners
Using a Salesforce.com OAuth adapter connection, a Adapter for Salesforce listener waits to receive a message from Salesforce.com. When a message appears on a topic that the listener is subscribed to, Salesforce.com pushes the message to the listener. The listener then passes the message to a listener notification.
Note:Adapter for Salesforce listeners use only Salesforce.com OAuth adapter connections. They do not run with normal Adapter for Salesforce connections.
Adapter for Salesforce has single-topic listeners that listen to a single topic.
You never invoke a listener directly from a service or client. Instead, a listener is a real-time process that you configure, enable, and disable using Integration Server Administrator.
All listeners stop functioning when the package containing the listener node is disabled or when
Integration Server shuts down.
All listeners start functioning when the package containing the listener node is enabled or when
Integration Server restarts.
