issue while invoking IDM Method through apply api

Im writing an IDM method for creating a super user session and using the following api to invoke and send parameters to the method :

getDfSession().apply("method_id", "DO_METHOD", argList, typeList, valueList);

however im getting null pointer exception while invoking it. The method works fine when I hardcode the docBaseName and Username and no password.

Is there any different way to pass the parameters?

Thanks,

Prerna

In your method attributes, do you have the "pass standard arguments" checked?

Hi Johnny,

We are calling the method from a WDK code, not running it as a Job in DA. Is there a way to specify the passing of standard arguments through code?

Thanks,

Hi Prerna,

Check this sample,

IDfList argList = new DfList();
IDfList typeList = new DfList();
IDfList valueList = new DfList();

argList.appendString("METHOD");
typeList.appendString("S");
valueList.appendString("method_name");

argList.appendString(" ARGUMENTS");
typeList.appendString("S");
valueList.appendString("-docbase_name  -user_name  -method_trace_level 10");

argList.appendString("RUN_AS_SERVER");
typeList.appendString("B");
valueList.appendString("T");

argList.appendString("SAVE_RESULTS");
typeList.appendString("B");
valueList.appendString("F");

IDfCollection collection= getDfSession().apply(null, "DO_METHOD", argList, typeList, valueList);
