Node Types and the EAI Siebel Adapter Business Service
In an integration object hierarchy, nodes with at least one child are called internal nodes and nodes without children are called leaf nodes. When either the insert or update method is called on the EAI Siebel Adapter business service, the adapter performs the operation on both internal nodes and leaf nodes. When the insert or update method is called on the EAI UI Data Adapter business service, the adapter performs insert on leaf nodes only.
For more information on node types, see About the EAI UI Data Adapter Business Service.
