NetApp Storage actor adapter requests and responses

Actor adapter requests use a set of elements, <operation-type> and <operation-name>, in the adapter nodes to execute a Java API call. The set of values used to make each API call is referred to as an operation.

You use the information in this section with the Call Adapter activity to create an adapter request. For detailed instructions about how to use the Call Adapter activity, see Call Adapter activity and Creating and configuring the Call Adapter activity.

Before you write an adapter request

Note the following points:

• Special characters used in a text field are wrapped in the CDATA tag.

   Sample text: <![CDATA[sample(&*&$#$^text]]>

• When executing a sample request from this documentation you must ensure that the supporting data is present in the NetApp DataFabric Manager application.
• If a large number of records is associated with the query, the execution of the request might take some time.
