Running IDO methods

Note: This topic applies to only on-premises environments.

This example shows the steps to set up an IDO method that runs using Taskman from a form:

  1. Set up a Background Task Definition record. Specify this information:
    Task Name
    Specify the name of the IDO method.
    Executable Name
    Enter this using the format IDO.method. Example: SL.SLExtfinParms.ExtFinExportAP
    Executable Type
    Specify IDOMTH.
  2. In a form, set up an event whose task parameters match the IDO method’s parameters. You can pass bare values (for example, "MyParameter1,MyParameter2"). Note that SyteLine will not allow you to use ~LIT~ syntax as part of a value. If white spaces are significant, use the usual SyteLine keywords such as P(...), V(...), C(...), and FPC(...), FV(...), or FC(...).
  3. Save the form and event.
