Business Entity Services Overview

Business Entity Services Overview

A business entity service is a set of operations that run MDM Hub code to create, update, delete, and search for base object records in a business entity. You can develop a custom user interface that can run Java code or JavaScript code to make business entity service calls.
For example, you can create a business entity service to augment a supplier record with Dun and Bradstreet data. Configure the business entity service to take the supplier record as an input, retrieve some information from Dun and Bradstreet, update the record, and then output the updated supplier record.
Base objects in a business entity have the following business entity services:
Read
Each business entity has a business entity service to perform a read operation.
Write
Each business entity has a business entity service to perform a write operation.
Search
Any business entity that has searchable fields has a business entity service to perform a search operation.
For example, a Person business entity has searchable fields. The MDM Hub generates a ReadPerson, WritePerson, and SearchPerson business entity service. The read, write, and search business entity service steps allow you to read, create, update, delete, and search for records in a business entity.
