Invoke Method for Business Services

The Invoke method that you can use with a business service calls the CanInvokeMethod business service and the InvokeMethod business service. It returns a property set. It uses following syntax:

service.Invoke(method_name, psPropertySet);

where:

• method_name is a string that identifies the business service method that the Invoke method calls. The Invoke method also calls the following methods:

  • CanInvokeMethod. Determines whether or not Siebel Open UI can call the business service method that method_name identifies. Any custom business service file you create must include the CanInvokeMethod business service method.

  • InvokeMethod. Calls the business service method that method_name identifies. Any custom business service file you create must include the InvokeMethod business service method.

  For more information about using these methods, see Using Siebel Business Services or JavaScript Services to Customize Siebel CRM Objects.

• psPropertySet is a property set that the Invoke method sends to the method that method_name identifies.

The following example calls the CanAddSample method of the LS Pharma Validation Service business service:

var service = SiebelApp.S_App.GetService("LS Pharma Validation Service");   
var outputSet = service.Invoke("CanAddSample", psPropertySet);
