MBOs may incorporate operations that change the data retrieved from the enterprise information system (EIS).
- Create, Update, Delete (CRUD) operations – an operation definition contains parameters that map to the arguments of the EIS operation, and can create, update, or delete data. These operations cause state change.
- 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.
