Comment on Getting values from M3 panels with Jscript by karinpb

Hi Grigoryev,
You need to be more specific. If this is for calling an MI program then there is only one common setting in Mango.Core settings that is used for WS connections. Unless the method used can take the timeout as a parameter. I think that MIParameters that can be set when you use MIWorker can set both the ConnectTimeout and the ReceiveTimeout, which will then be valid for that call only. Please clearify what timeout you are refering to.

Comment on Using Bookmarks in M3 by Martin Trydal Torp

Yes, I know that, but it doesn’t work. I’m able to show the fields from APS112/E but there are no values in them. The same problem occurs if you bookmark APS110 on the regular way and try to open some of the related alternatives like Ctrl + 15 and Ctrl + 11 – no values are shown, so I’m guessing there is something wrong with this bookmark, even dough it works in MTS043.

Hola Jose Ramón. Another technique is to call the API from the good old JSP IBrix and the good old IDSP in IPM IBrix (if you know how to program them) and make a simple HTTP Request to it. You don’t even need to hard-code the user and password in the script as you can get them from the script (see my post on it). I never tested this technique but I believe it’s possible. However I believe those IBrix frameworks are not supported by Infor anymore. Hope it helps. /Thibaud

Yes and no. There is no easy way to call the APIs. Before we got the generic M3 API WS you had to deploy web services in Lawson Web Services using the Web Service Designer. Then in order to call the web service you need to generate C# stub code. So you can create a dll with some own calls to access API and then load that dll in the script. But it’s a lot of work. If this is a version that supports the Smart Office SDK you can write the code as part of a feature and deploy it to all clients and then just call methods from your script. The way to modify the generated stubs are described in the first version of the SDK Developers guide but this is something I can only recommend if you already know how to generate and use WS – stibs in .net.

Hi,
You write the code within Smart Office itself in the JScript tool.

The user’s Role (assigned in Security User Maintenance and maintained in ISO Role Manager) must have ‘Allow Scripting’ set.
Then user will see Script Tool under Lawson Transactions -> Other or enter “sforms://jscript”

Start by reading the Lawson Developers Guide found on the Infor Info Center (that is a server were you can install documentation).

Hi!, first of all thanks for the blog, it’s being a really good source of information and inspiration, I’m currently discovering the magic of the scripts.
I was wondering if there is a way to call API from older versions of Smart Office.

Comment on Personalizations in M3 – Manager by Anders Lundh

Anders Lundh — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:59:55 +0000

Hi again Karin
I’d forgotten to clear the MNE-server. Thanks for the tips.
After doing that it works perfect to copy & delete personalizations between users/roles from the Personalization Manager. Rellay great tool for deploying scripts, etc.
