OnlineObjectService Class

Provides methods that perform operations acting on the Volt MX Foundry 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 Volt MX Foundry endpoint.

Syntax

create(options, successCallback, failureCallback);

Parameters

Parameter Description
options JSON object with the mandatory parameter "dataObject" which must be an instance of the voltmx.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 = voltmx.sdk.getCurrentInstance().getObjectService("serviceName", {
    "access": "online"
}); 
var dataObject = new voltmx.sdk.dto.DataObject("ObjectName"); 
dataObject.addField("field1", "value1"); 
var options = {
    "dataObject": dataObject
}; 
objSvc.create(options,
    function(response) {
        voltmx.print("Record created: " + JSON.stringify(response));
    },     
    function(error) {
        voltmx.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 Volt MX Foundry endpoint.

Syntax

update(options, successCallback, failureCallback);

Parameters

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

Example

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

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

var options = {
    "dataObject": dataObject
};

objSvc.update(options,
    function(response) {
        voltmx.print("Record updated: " + JSON.stringify(response));
    },
    function(error) {
        voltmx.print("Error in record update: " + JSON.stringify(error));
    });

delete Method

Deletes an object in the Volt MX Foundry endpoint.

Syntax

deleteRecord(options, successCallback, failureCallback);

Parameters

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

Example

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

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

var options = {
    "dataObject": dataObject
};
objSvc.deleteRecord(options,
    function(response) {
        voltmx.print("Record deleted: " + JSON.stringify(response));
    },
    function(error) {
        voltmx.print("Error in record deletion: " + JSON.stringify(error));
    });

customVerb Method

Performs a custom operation on an object in the Volt MX Foundry endpoint.

Syntax

customVerb(verbName, options, successCallback, failureCallback);

Parameters

Parameter Description
verbName Name of the custom verb defined in the Volt MX Foundry console
options JSON object with the mandatory parameter "dataObject", which must be an instance of the voltmx.sdk.dto.DataObject Class
successCallback Function invoked when the operation succeeds
failureCallback Function invoked when the operation fails, with cause of failure

Example

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

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

var options = {
    "dataObject": dataObject
};

objSvc.customVerb("verbName", options,
    function(response) {
        voltmx.print("Custom operation performed: " + JSON.stringify(response));
    },
    function(error) {
        voltmx.print("Error in custom operation:" + JSON.stringify(error));
    });

fetch Method

Fetches an object from the server.

Syntax

fetch(options, successCallback, failureCallback);

Parameters

Parameter Description
options JSON object with the mandatory parameter "dataObject", which must be an instance of the voltmx.sdk.dto.DataObject Class. This instance must have the property selectQueryObject, which is an instance of voltmx.sdk.dto.SelectQuery, in order to fetch records based on the given criteria.
successCallback Function invoked when the method succeeds, with the number of records fetched
failureCallback Function invoked when fetch fails, with cause of failure
