Is there a way to call IDO method from a form script?

Kirill Kuchumov

Hi,

There is IDO "IONAPIMethods".

IDO has method "InvokeIONAPIMethod2".

I can see how this method is called from Event handler in "TestIONAPIInvoke" form.

Is there a way to call this method "IONAPIMethods.InvokeIONAPIMethod2" from a form's script?

Thanks,

Kirill

LoadCollectionRequestData is for loading ido collections in Mongoose.

If you want M3 data you would either use InvokeIONAPIMethod or the new IDO from ION API Wizard to generate the IDO that stores the M3 Data. In Mongoose 2021.05 you will be able to use LoadCollectionRequestData on the IDO generated from the wizard to get the M3 Data.

Yes. To call an IDO method from a Form Script, you need to create an InvokeRequestData and an InvokeResponseData to handle both the request & response. Keep in mind that Invoke is used to execute methods, and not load/return records. That would be done using a LoadcollectionRequestData and LoadcollectionResponsedata objects.

Can also be done as an IDOClient.Invoke call:

You could also setup a Method Call event handler and call that from form script using ThisForm.Generate(). This could be useful if you envision changes to the call over time and would allow you to make metadata changes rather than code changes when that occurs.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the prompt response.

My understanding that LoadCollectionRequestData is to get data from a Mongoose table, is it correct?

Can I use LoadCollectionRequestData to get data from M3 API?

Thanks,

Kirill
