Data Synchronization Methods for ASIs

Data synchronization services use a subset of methods supported by the EAI Siebel Adapter, as listed in the following table. However, an ASI might not use all of the methods listed; you can define which methods an ASI uses. For more information, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration.

Method	Description	Input	Output
QueryByExample	Queries for objects based on the example object provided.	Interface Integration Object	One or more integration objects that matches the query.
QueryById	Queries for objects based on the primary row ID.	Primary Row ID	An integration object that matches the specific row ID. If no row ID exists, no object is returned.
QueryPage	Queries for a given number of objects based on the example object.

Boolean LastPage argument indicates whether the last record is returned.
Insert	Creates the object in the database.	Interface Integration Object	The status key of all the objects created. If the object exists, this request errors out. See Using Status Keys for information about status keys.
Update	Updates the object in the database. If the object does not exist, the request returns an error.	Interface Integration Object	The status key of all objects updated.
InsertOrUpdate	Merges the object with the same object in the database or creates a new object if none exists in the database.	Interface Integration Object	The status key of all objects created or updated.
