This chapter describes the business objects and meta-objects that are used by the adapter for TCP/IP.
The first part of this chapter, Processing flow, describes the PIMO framework and shows how the business objects and meta-objects are used by the adapter for TCP/IP.
The second half of this chapter provides reference material for the following types of objects:
These are used as transitional data wrappers, as data is pulled off the network (in event mode) and as it is being fed to the network (in service call request mode). These objects and their structure are described in detail in Internal business objects.
These meta-objects correspond to, and are set by, properties in the connector configuration file. These objects and their structure are described in detail in General meta-objects.
These meta-objects are used to perform object manipulation inside the connector. In the adapter for TCP/IP, this mechanism is used to provide pre- and post-processing of message data.
The PIMO framework is described in PIMO framework processing . The PIMO framework objects and their structure are described in PIMO framework meta-objects.
