Calling Methods for Business Services

The example in this topic describes how to call a method for a business service when the user clicks a button.

To call methods for buttons

1. Use a JavaScript editor to open the plug-in wrapper for the button.

2. Locate the click handler for the button.

3. Add the following code to the code that you located in Step 2:

   var service = SiebelApp.S_App.GetService("business_service_name");
   if (service) {
     var inPropSet = CCFMiscUtil_CreatePropSet();
     //Code occurs here that sets the inPropSet property set with all information that 
     Siebel Open UI must send as input to the method that it calls.
     var ai = {};
     ai.async = true;
     ai.selfbusy = true;
     ai.scope = this;
     ai.mask = true;
     ai.opdecode = true;
     ai.errcb = function(){
         //Code occurs here for the method that Siebel Open UI runs if the AJAX call fails
       };
     ai.cb = function(){
         //Code occurs here for the method that Siebel Open UI runs if the AJAX call 
   is successful
       };
     service.InvokeMethod("method_name", "input_arguments", ai);
   }
