Everyone:
My problem is linking a new method I wrote calling Federated data with the form.
I wrote a method to pull data out of our MRP system. To be honest I thought this would be the hard part. We are running CA-Maxcim, circa late 1980's, in a Virtual Alpha environment with a 3rd part software that allows us access to the data tables. We are able to write C# applications against this data all the time. One MS-SQL linked server later, that part is up and running. I can click Actions->Run Server Method and the proper data is returned:
<Item type="a_CN" typeId="4301258ECE5F4A759530A5E57833C8E1" id="BCD7C2E9DCEE42CC886FC034FBD40E80"><y_maxcim_source_code>G</y_maxcim_source_code></Item>
For the ItemType, I created a property called 'y_maxcim_source_code' with the datatype 'Federated'. On the form itself, I added this field and set a form event to call my method during the 'onFormPopulate' event.
I don't receive any errors but the field will never populate. I pretty sure the error is either the return dataset isn't formatted correctly or I'm not calling the method on the form correctly.
Sincerely,
Dale
