Rest-erp -- how to properly pass ds

[Connor_St_Louis]

Hi there,

I am attempting to create a switch between report styles based on a parameter - I am struggling to properly pass ds through the rest-erp BAQReport.TransformAndSubmit call.

Copying the exact rest-erp component from the locked system event does not pass anything in ds and breaks the rest call - they don’t even define ds in the method parameters or request parameters etc.

I am unsure of how to properly get ds across, especially since dataviews don’t necessarily match.

Current dataviews I am working with:

Correct payload that I am looking for:

Current payload and ds parameter:


I have also tried the regular rest component but am unfamiliar with this. I have also tried leaving ds blank the same way that the Epicor system event does with no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

This has worked and has successfully generated my report as expected.

Better Solution Found:

Build ds using a function with Epicor Functions Maintenance.

Response Parameter type = System.Data.DataSet
Input parameters = anything you need to set dynamically. For example:

Response parameter for your custom ds can be inserted directly into the rest call with actionResult.yourParam


*haven’t yet changed the param name from json to something more fitting - I was first attempting this with serialized json

Payload is perfect!
