Data handler meta-objects

If the e-Mail adapter will be processing business object requests or performing event notification you must set up a data handler meta-object that specifies what data handlers the adapter must use to convert data.

The top-level meta-object for a data handler is a hierarchical business object that can contain any number of child objects. Each child object is a flat business object that represents a specific data handler instance. Child meta-objects have attributes that provide configuration values that enable a data handler instance to do its work. Different types of data handlers require different configuration properties, so the child meta-objects that support specific handlers have different attributes.

To configure a data handler for the e-Mail adapter, do the following:

For detailed information on setting up meta-objects for individual data handlers, see the Data Handler Guide.

Note:
In order for the e-Mail adapter to instantiate a data handler, the data handler top-level meta-object must be configured in the list of business objects supported by the adapter.
