Event Action Execute IDO Request

Note:  You can access this form only from the Event Actions form.

Use this form to construct an application event action that executes an IDO request on the system to which the user is currently connected or logged in.

This IDO request can be, for example, to load a collection, update a collection, or invoke an IDO method.

The Execute IDO Request action type performs these actions:

  • Optionally, opens a new session (closing it when the requested action is finished)
  • Performs the requested action
  • If appropriate, receives any response data generated by the IDO action and places it in a return variable or return parameter. You can then use the Transform XML action type to parse the return data

For more information about XML requests and responses, see the IDO Integration with External Applications section of the help.

Note: The Execute IDO Request action type is similar to the Dispatch IDO Request action type. The primary difference is that the Execute IDO Request action type performs the IDO request on the system from which it is initiated; the Dispatch IDO Request performs the IDO request on a remote system.
