Custom Operations

In addition to the standard CRUD operations, a business object service may be exposed to custom operations that are specific to the service and map to a related business operation. For more information about the descriptions of the operation and payload elements, see Business Object Services chapter in this guide.

Examples of custom operations include:

• The ConvertLeadToOpportunity operation converts a lead to an opportunity. This operation:

  • Is defined on the Sales Lead service

  • Accepts the internal identifier of a Sales Lead object

  • Returns the opportunity ID, which is a string value

  Note: If the lead ID is null, the operation returns null. If an error occurs, the operation returns an error message.
• The ConvertToPartner operation converts an organization to a partner. This operation:

  • Is defined on the Partner service

  • Accepts the internal identifier of a party organization object

  • Returns the newly converted partner object

• The renewProgramEnrollment operation renews an existing program enrollment. This operation:

  • Is defined on the Partner Program Enrollment service

  • Accepts the internal identifier of an enrollment

  • Returns the internal identifier of the renewed enrollment
