Hi Maamoun,

You can try using the bookmark option in the H5 Odin library, but this will open the M3 program in the new inforOS tab.

Hi Sudhakaran ,

Thank you for reply,
Can I use the Bookmark option to just calling a program? Or I can fully integrate the example screen crs610 with these options (modify, delete, display, change).

Best regards

Hi,

Oding v2 does not have support for integrating a M3 progam within an odin application. Odin v1 had support for loading a Mashup (deployed for web) in an IFrame. That was still not loading the program but since a Mashup could have a program then you could surface it like that, through an iframe with the link to the mashup.

The mashup framework would actually load a specific view of the H5, and if you have access to Smart Office you can try that scenario as a work around.

There are multiple reasons why this support was not added to H5 SDK / Odin.

- IFrames requires a lot of post message communication to work

- It would only work if the application was launched within the H5 applicaiton, in a tab.

- It essantially means that you load the entire H5 client again in an iframe, but hides the navigation etc.

- When an IFrame approach like this if you have the application open and want to change company or any other action then you would need to close the application as it has a running program.

You can add an enhancment request to be able to have a URL that would deep link into a specific program and show it without all the menus etc. There is no such option today but if enough people requested it, it might be implemented.

But then there is the issue of how to handle all the related options and other actions that requires inteaction with the H5 client. It's not an easy task to get the correct behaviors of the program when you don't have all the menus and the full framework. For example opening a dialog would only open it in the IFrame so you end up having to have quite a bit of the screen to fit the program.

If you are new to M3 and developing extentions for M3 then this is too much of an effort with a result that migh still not be good enough for the end users.

You should do as Sudhakaran says, open the program with the launch method and don't try to inline it.

Hi Karin ,

Thanks for your precise answer.
So I have to create windows by myself and use the API to add records.
