Synchronous Listener Notifications
When you create a synchronous listener notification, Adapter for Salesforce creates the following publishable document types:
Request document
Reply document
At run time, the synchronous listener notification invokes a specified adapter service and passes the message to the specified Request document. The service returns the Reply document to Adapter for Salesforce. The listener notification waits until the service has finished processing the message before it initiates the next service.
Synchronous adapter listener notifications execute flow services and return values from those services. Integration Server 8.2 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 the
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.
