Operations

Once a projection has been prepared for usage in Novacura Flow, you can define what operation to use in a machine step. Simply select the connector in the machine step and choose "Select operation..." in the operation tree.

There are a couple of different kinds of operations, typically a subset of the following kind of operations are available:

• Create - creates a new entity

• Read - query for entities

• Update - update an existing entity

• Delete - delete an entity

• Actions - an operation that potentially changes the state of one or many entities

• Functions - an operations that does not change state of any existing entity, i.e a pre-defined query, or create an entity with default values set

• Code - a way for you to, in the context of the OData endpoint, write your own code in C# that does what you define.

• Batch operations - multiple operations in one call

The OData connector supports a maximum of two levels of entity sets within the operation tree for a given projection. In this example, any additional entity sets under AddHandlingUnitTypesArray will not be visible in the operation tree. For entity sets that are in third level and beyond, you can use Custom Request
