Adding Business Object Calls into Custom C# Method Directive code

[Asz0ka (Adam Szoka)]

To confirm you are looking at the right BO/method, you can run a trace on the regular process a user goes through to add a new user code in User Code Maintenance. I ran the trace, it looks like you are looking at the right BO/method to me. I also see UserCode.GetNewUDCodeType gets called if the code type hasn’t been defined.

The BL Tester is the best place I can think of to investigate BO methods and what parameters they require:

Setting up the BL tester

So I happen to be setting up the BL tester on a new server. It’s one of those things that you only do once in a Blue Moon so it’s hard to remember what the heck you have to do to get it set up. So, I will document the process here as I do this one, so 1. I can come back to it later if I need to, and 2. so others can see how to set up this super useful tool. First, this tool is on the server, that’s where it lives and where you run it from when you need to use it. Correction, you can use this fr…

You can use this tester to test BO calls, and you can also pass data from one BO call to another, mimicking how it could work in Code or multiple widgets.

If you start setting up a “Invoke BO Widget” in a method directive, it will also show what parameters / outputs are available to each BO method (after you select it).
