response

A response is the second part of an interchange: a message, call, or event returned from one system (the server) to another system (the client) as a reply to a previous message, call, or event:

• For a PRPC connector, the PRPC engine can be considered the client or initiator of a request made to another system that has the role of server. The server reply is the response.
• For a PRPC service, an external client system initiates the request to PRPC, which executes an activity and replies with a response.

The request plus the response make up one interchange.

Many service and connector rule forms contain a Request tab and a Response tab, each defining data mappings out from and into the system.
