Overview

AIS Server calls that retrieve data from forms in the EnterpriseOne web client are referred to as form service requests. AIS client applications use form service requests to interact with EnterpriseOne web client forms. Form service requests, formatted as REST service calls that use POST, contain form service events or commands that invoke actions on an EnterpriseOne form.

A form service request enables you to perform various operations on a single form. By sending an ordered list of commands, a form service request can replicate the actions taken by an EnterpriseOne web client user, including populating fields, pressing buttons, and other actions.

To send a form service request to the AIS Server, send a POST to the following URL and send JSON in the body:

http://<AIS Server>:<Port>/formservice

If testing with a REST testing tool, you can send JSON directly.

The following list is an example of the operations required to perform a query in the find/browse form of the Address Book application (P01012_W01012B):

1. Enter a value into the Search Type field and into the QBE field for address number.

2. Click the check boxes to show the extra grid columns and press the Find button.

   This populates the grid with the data matching the query.

   The form service returns the form parent object representing the form after it is populated with the data.
