Parameters

executionKey  Guid

Access key of the service to be executed. The key is not the same as the service's Id. It is the value that was returned to the caller who registered the service.

data  IExternalData

The associated data. The type is defined by the service.

Return Value

Execution of a service should be invoked only by the application that registered the service. The execution will use the currently active server (or servers in the case of a multi-server service).

This method does not take a document as one of its arguments and therefore it is not intended for executions of recordable services that may modify documents. If the service (recordable) or its server(s) is expected to modify documents, the other ExecuteService method -- the one that takes a document as one of its arguments -- is supposed to be used.

Non-recordable services are free to modify documents during this ExecuteService call, because activities of non-recordable services are not recorded; the changes those services made are assumed to be independent of the presence of the service and/or its servers.
