MFormsAutomation and Enterprise Search

Hello Community,

I'm trying to build an automation and one of the steps requires an Enterprise Search.

The flow is as follows:

Open a new panel
Change sorting order
Run enterprise search

I'm able to do steps 1 and 2, but I'm unsure how to trigger an Enterprise Search using MFormsAutomation. Can anyone share an example or suggest an alternative?

Try this:

ScriptUtil.DoEnterpriseSearch(“myQuery”);

Thank you for your reply Rene. Where would I add this line of code to the MFormsAutomation object in my H5 Script.
For example:

const auto = new MFormsAutomation();
auto.addStep(ActionType.Run, "OIS302");

// How can I add an enterprise search to an automation step?
// This is where I'm stuck...

I'm afraid you need a script in OIS302 itself that launches and uses the value(s) of a field populated by MformsAutomation.
Unfortunately I don't think you can change a value in the LDA with a Script, otherwise this could be way to 'pass parameter(s)'.

Thank you for your feedback. 2 questions:

Do you think the Enterprise Search could be set using a Drillback?
You had mentioned passing a parameter to OIS302. Do you have a way to do do this?

Thank you again!
