OnlineObjectService Class

Provides methods that perform operations acting on the Kony Fabric endpoint, including basic CRUD, metadata, and binary-related functions. An instance of OnlineObjectService is returned by the getObjectService Method when the second parameter specifies {"access":"online"}.

Methods

The following methods are used by the OnlineObjectService class and its instantiations.

create Method

Creates an object in the Kony Fabric endpoint.

Syntax

create(options, successCallback, failureCallback);

Parameters

Parameter	Description
options	JSON object with the mandatory parameter "dataObject" which must be an instance of the kony.sdk.dto.DataObject Class
successCallback	Function invoked when the operation succeeds, with the primary key of the created object
failureCallback	Function invoked when the operation fails, with cause of failure

Example

var objSvc = kony.sdk.getCurrentInstance().getObjectService("serviceName", {
    "access": "online"
}); 
var dataObject = new kony.sdk.dto.DataObject("ObjectName"); 
dataObject.addField("field1", "value1"); 
var options = {
    "dataObject": dataObject
}; 
objSvc.create(options,
    function(response) {
        kony.print("Record created: " + JSON.stringify(response));
    },     
    function(error) {
        kony.print("Error in record creation: " + JSON.stringify(error));
    }  );

Note: When using object services for SAP, the general norm is to have character field values stored in upper case. However, if you need to pass in mixed/lower case values for an SAP field, ensure that this field is designated as mixed case in the SAP Add-in LDB workbench.

update Method

Updates an object in the Kony Fabric endpoint.

Syntax

Example

var objSvc = kony.sdk.getCurrentInstance().getObjectService("serviceName", {
    "access": "online"
});

var dataObject = new kony.sdk.dto.DataObject("ObjectName");
dataObject.addField("field1", "value1");

};

objSvc.update(options,
    function(response) {
        kony.print("Record updated: " + JSON.stringify(response));
