PluginResponseInfo exists for the connector to be able to respond with more than just a true or false, but also an explanation. For user interaction methods (such as creating an actor from the SO GUI), the explanation can be directly displayed to the user.
However, for the background synchronization tasks (detecting changes and transferring them to the other side), we will have to log them and possibly find a way to display urgent messages to the user in an asynchronous way.
As can be seen in the return types of
IErpConnector, there are numerous types of PluginResponseInfo objects. These are all inherited from PluginResponse, and are given an extra property that will contain the main object that Erp Sync is interested in. The PluginResponse object will in these cases be a carrier that can report back to Erp Sync about any messages, warnings, or failures that may have happened during the operation at the Sync Connection side. Error and exception messages should be sent back using these carriers. Exceptions should not be thrown if at all avoidable.Members
Enum ResponseState
This is used inPluginResponse to give a more detailed status than just true or false. If the value is anything other than “Ok”, the UserExplanation and/or TechExplanation fields should be used to provide more info.
