Entity Exporters and Importers API

Fri, 16 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The entity exporters and importers processors API, currently part of the Scipio Data Connect API , provides a framework of java classes and JSON-friendly services for writing, extending and remotely invoking entity exporters/importers for product, party, order, customer and other data. These help interconnect remote systems and applications and simplify data handling.

Several export services named entityExport* (e.g. entityExportProduct, entityExportOrder) are provided that produce a JSON-like record for each main entity read (some exporters accumulate multiple entities per produced record). By default these are returned as a list of records as the “records” OUT attribute. Alongside these are entityImport* import services that create and update entities from JSON-like records from a “records” IN attribute, which usually closely matches the export format (not guaranteed due to custom fields and needs).
