Extending business logic

When you develop an application that uses eConnect, you may encounter business situations that do not conform to eConnect's existing business logic. To resolve these situations, eConnect allows you to refine its existing business logic. Use the following to supplement eConnect's business logic:

Add XML nodes to an existing schema eConnect allows you to add custom XML nodes to its document schema. When you add an XML node to a document schema, you must also add a custom SQL stored procedure that processes your XML node's data. For more information about adding XML nodes, see Custom XML Nodes.

Extend the business logic Each eConnect SQL stored procedure provides a named pre and post procedure. To modify eConnect's business logic, add SQL code to the pre and post procedures that meet your unique business requirement.
