Usage
A predefined business service works in a way that is similar to how a call to a business component method works. You can call a specialized method on a business service that is not available directly through the object interface.
You must use this method only with Siebel VB or Siebel eScript scripts. You must use Siebel Tools to write these scripts. You can call these scripts from an external interface.
A run-time business service can include a custom method.
Although the InvokeMethod function does not return a value, the properties in the OutputArguments property set might be modified.
For more information, see Arguments for the Siebel eScript Format of the InvokeMethod Method in InvokeMethod Method for an Applet.
