Message Processing Actions

Integration Framework Customization with Processing Rules
A processing rule performs an action on a field in a record or object, or on the
record or object itself.
After you select the applicable service or channel, the application displays the
records that comprise the corresponding object structure. Select the record on
which the processing rule applies.
To define a processing rule, specify the record or object to which the rule applies.
A system database action (event) on the primary object within the corresponding
object structure initiates a processing rule. Use one or more of the following
actions to initiate the rule:
An insertion to the primary object
A deletion to the primary object
An update to the primary object
You can place the rule on a primary record or a child record or an object.
However, the database action that initiates a rule must occur on the primary
object that is associated with the object structure.
To prevent users from changing the information about an existing PERSON
record, place a processing rule with a Stop action on the PERSON object. Specify
that the rule that is to be applied when the primary PERSON object is updated.
This rule performs the stop action if a user changes any attribute on a person
record.
When an outbound message is generated using the Data Export feature or by a
programmatic call to the publish channel, all enabled processing rules are run
regardless of the action settings. The system also runs all processing rules
regardless of the settings that you specify for the processing rule properties.
For inbound transactions, flags apply only to enterprise services with an
operation of Sync. Flags are evaluated against the action attribute of the primary
object that is represented in the XML message.
A processing rule can act on an enterprise service or publish channel as a whole.
For example, a rule can bypass a message, or it can manipulate the value in a data
field within the message.
Three processing rule actions act on a service or channel message: stop, skip, and
skip children. Four processing rule actions manipulate the value in a data field
within a service or channel message: combine, split, set, and replace.
The following processing rule actions stop or skip the enterprise service or
publish channel message as a whole, or skip entire records within the message.
