Overview of eConnect for services

Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP uses eConnect to retrieve, create, update, and delete records in the Microsoft Dynamics GP database. The Dynamics GP Service framework uses the following eConnect components.

• The eConnect Transaction Requester that retrieves data from the Microsoft Dynamics GP database. The Transaction Requester uses metadata to specify the data to retrieve. For more information about using the Transaction Requester, see Updating the Transaction Requester for retrieve operations.
• An eConnect business object that inserts, updates, or deletes data in the Microsoft Dynamics GP database. In eConnect, a business object is implemented as a SQL stored procedure. For more information about creating eConnect SQL stored procedures, see Adding a SQL stored procedure for create and update operations.

For more information about business objects, eConnect XML documents, and the Transaction Requester, see the eConnect Programmer's Guide.
