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.
