EAI Dispatch Service Methods

---

EAI Dispatch Service uses the methods described in Table 2.

Table 2. EAI Dispatch Service Methods

Method	Description
Dispatch	This method parses the input against the rules and dispatches it to the appropriate business service and business service method for further processing.
Lookup	This method returns the intermediate output generation as specified by the rule output properties without dispatching it to any business service. You use this method for debugging purposes, as well as manipulating property sets within business service or workflow.
ProcessAggregateRequest	This method allows multiple invocations of business services in a single request. The output for each request will be combined into a single Siebel property set or XML document. The input to this method is an XML document. For details, see ProcessAggregateRequest Method.
Purge	The Purge method clears any data that has been cached by the EAI Dispatch Service and does not take in any input arguments.

The EAI Dispatch Service executes the following at run time:

Matches the input with a dispatch rule.
Evaluates the transforms.
Dispatches the output to a business service if the method is set to Dispatch.
