Basic Types

Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides access only to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business functions. Business function metadata is read using a business function interface and used to find a list of business functions and associated data structures. Metadata is strongly typed in all cases for all business function methods.

All business function methods have the same calling convention: three parameters that are system derived, and a pointer to a data structure. The following table shows how business function data types are represented.
