Outbound event
Business rule: The business rule is the point where a message can be created and be passed to Event connector.
Business rules can be developed with the Planon IDE and it must be linked to an event of the Business Object (BO). When the BO is saved, the business rule is executed. The Planon Platform provides an API to access Event connector from a Business rule and thus to make it easy to create and send messages from a Business rule.
Transform: The Transform step transforms the Outbound Message to an Outbound Raw Message. If the message that was originally received was in a structured form, then this step can just pass the message otherwise it has to be reshaped to a form that is suitable for the receiver.
Transmit: The Transmit step actually sends the message.
• The infrastructure provides just the basic handling of the message. It controls the flow of messages, makes it reliable and controllable. It is equipped to handle errors during processing etc.
• The framework does not perform any actions in the Planon business model itself. The implementation of the app is essential. In each step, the implementation can check the content of the message and decide whether it should be processed.
