What is a Drill Service Call?

The Drill Service allows clients (in this case, client applications) to perform read-only queries to Lawson Drill Around data via the web server.

Add optional parameters where "..." appears above. Optional parameters are listed in later sections of this chapter.

If you created custom API calls to IDA in 8.0

In 9.0.x IOS, the Drill service replaces 8.0 IDA (both CGI and servlet versions.)

If you created custom API calls to IDA in release 8.0, you should know that XML is the only supported output types in release 9.0.x.

Parameters related to other output types and some other parameters that are no longer needed in release 9.0.x are not supported. If you want to convert your 8.0 calls to function in release 9.0.x, you will have to convert them to use the syntax as shown in the previous sentence and to remove any unsupported parameters. Only supported parameters are shown in this document.
