MBOs may incorporate operations that change the data retrieved from the enterprise information system (EIS).
- Create, Update, Delete (CUD) operations – an operation definition contains
arguments that map to the arguments of the EIS operation, and can create,
update, or delete data. These operations cause state change.
- Read/Load – an operation that inlcudes optional load arguments that determine
inital loading of data from the EIS to the CDB. For example, a SQL Select
statement for database data sources.
- OTHER operation – an operation definition for operations other than create,
update, or delete. These operations do not cause state change.
The operation definition supports validation and error handling.
