Processing messages
Planon's Event connector is a generic component that is designed to receive and send messages.
Messages can be anything and they can be received in any format. Therefore, Event Connector will need to process and transform it to make it compatible with Planon.
When further zooming in on processing messages, the following actions take place:
1. Inbound raw messages are received from a third-party application.
By using a system app (or, optionally, a custom app), the data is transformed into an Inbound message.
2. The message is further processed and categorized into business events and stored in the corresponding user-defined business object (UDBO). Again, this is done by a system app (or, optionally, a custom app).
 | Messages can be processed by using either a system app or a custom app. By creating and using a custom app, you exert even more control over the data configuration. |
