How to instantiate a service contract in a C# code?

I have created a new service using service designer and I would like to be able to use it in classic Epicor forms by instantiating it but I am not able to figure it out yet.

Here is an example of how we do it with AR Invoice object:

using (Erp.Proxy.BO.ARInvoiceImpl bo = WCFServiceSupport.CreateImpl<Erp.Proxy.BO.ARInvoiceImpl>(mySession, Erp.Proxy.BO.ARInvoiceImpl.UriPath))
{
    bool morePages = false;
    ARInvoiceDataSet ds = bo.GetRows("", "", "", "", "OrderNum=123 and OrderLine=1 and OrderRelNum=1","","","","","","","","","","","","","", 0, 0, out morePages);
}

Now I have a service contract:

Erp.Contracts.Notifications_cSvcContract (Its not Erp.Proxy.BO)

How do I instantiate this in code?

For example this service has methods like GetByID, GetRows, Update, Delete and so on.

I am already able to use it in Application Studio but I want to see if I can also use it in classid UI using C# code?

I don’t know how to do it from Classic Forms side, I was born in Kinetic/SaaS and when I lead my first implementation in 2002 I forced us into Kinetic from the start, it was painful :slight_smile:

From Functions side, you need to add a reference to the assembly:

Then, you use it like this:

this.CallService<Erp.Contracts.Ragnarok_cSvcContract>(ragnarok => {
  var response = ragnarok.GetByID(Guid.NewGuid());
});

It is hopefully similar from classic forms.

Use Functions / REST. There is no adapter for Classic.

You don’t need adapter for createImpl. If contract still has proxy it should work.

I don’t belelive it delivers client side contracts at all. Though you could push them out from the server I suppose

Depending on the use case you could use a BPM. From the UI have a button or other trigger update a row (ud column or standard column) and then method or data directive to trigger the required function / code.

This is not always a perfect solution as it depends on your use case but it can be effective. Be sure to refresh after the update though to avoid “row has been modified…” error.

Only works if a Classic proxy exists; otherwise use Functions/REST.

I don’t think Functions exists in 10.0.700. You might need to use an updatable BAQ instead
