Create Create verb Partial The connector converts the entire child object to an XML document to send to the URL. The top-level wrapper object is not sent, but the information contained in that object is used for routing and to determine the format of the message sent to the URL.
Delete Delete verb No

Logical delete N/A The connector only converts business objects to XML documents and sends them to a URL; how they are processed is solely dependent on that URL.
