Invoke the Program Exits

You must define how your custom connector agent plug-in invokes the program exit.

The common exit has the following invocation methods:

• Through the DLL function call
• Through the SOAP method invocation

Your agent plug-in will probably define some other form of program exit invocation. That data is passed to the agent plug-in in the eTExitPayload attribute, which is an XML buffer.

The method of invoking program exits is to execute a command line utility. Thus the only information it needs is the utility name (including the path). You can define the SDK exit object as having a payload that only contains the full path to the utility.

The sample SDK exit payload is the following:

<eTSDKExit>
     <Program>program to execute</Program>
</eTSDKExit>
