XML
format
for
″request″
or
″delivery″
metadata
At
the
end
of
this
XML
format
are
the
extended
data
elements.
The
extended
data
elements
for
adapter
request
and
delivery
events
represent
data
from
the
business
object
being
processed.
This
data
includes
the
name
of
the
business
object,
the
key
(foreign
or
local)
for
the
business
object,
and
business
objects
that
are
children
of
parent
business
objects.
The
children
business
objects
are
then
broken
down
into
the
same
data
as
the
parent
(name,
key,
and
any
children
business
objects).
This
data
is
represented
in
an
extended
data
element
of
the
event
definition.
This
data
will
change
depending
on
which
business
object,
which
keys,
and
which
child
business
objects
are
being
processed.
The
extended
data
in
this
event
definition
is
just
an
example
and
represents
a
business
object
named
Employee
with
a
key
EmployeeId
and
a
child
business
object
EmployeeAddress
with
a
key
EmployeeId.
This
pattern
could
continue
for
as
much
data
as
exists
for
the
particular
business
object.
