LLApi.dll RunReport inputs

Hi,

I'm using LLApi (https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/fetch/-15106263/15106294/16113761/18493266/54520049/55315694/55970301/56066538/M_Opentext_LAPI_LapiDocuments_RunReport_1.htm) from ES 10.5 in order to execute LiveReports from my CS 10.5. For reports without parametes everything works as expected. Have you guys any idea about how should I Create the LLList of params? Tried in this way but doesn't work.

import Ixos.Scan.Extension.Livelink;
import OpenText.Imaging.LLAPI;
import OpenText.Imaging.LLAPI.Base;
import System.Windows.Forms;

...
... blah blah lapisession blah blah
...

var lapiDocument : LapiDocuments = new LapiDocuments(Context["lapisession"]);

var params : LLList = new LLList();
var assocFolder : LLAssoc = new LLAssoc();
var assocFile : LLAssoc = new LLAssoc();
var rec : LLRecArray = new LLRecArray();

//first livereport's parameter
assocFolder.Add("InputType",new LLString("Integer"));
assocFolder.Add("Label",new LLString("inputlabel1"));
assocFolder.Add("Value",new LLInteger(245657))

//second livereport's parameter
assocFile.Add("InputType",new LLString("String"));
assocFile.Add("Label",new LLString("inputlabel2"));
assocFile.Add("Value",new LLString("test.jpg"))

params.Add(assocFolder);
params.Add(assocFile);

rec = lapiDocument.RunReport(0,813772,params);

IXClient.log:

Thank you. R.

Try this official sample

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll?func=ll&objId=3728655&objAction=ArticleView&viewType=1

Other ways to debug are

Put builder or CSIDE and try to trace the fault
Put Debug=2 and wantlogs=true,wanlapilogs=true
Note sure if a sample I wrote years back will work or not.I have done this later in lapi and CWS.

Thank you Appu for your answer,

Those examples works with lapi 9.7.1 (llapi_netp.dll) and ES 10.2. With ES 10.5 llapi_netp.dll is no more provided and that's why I'm "playing" with the provided LLApi.dll.

I've set a breakpoint at the RunReport function in CSIDE and what I see is that the Assoc for input parameters are slightly different (comparing with a similar code in ES10.2)

10.2 with llapi_netp.dll:
A<1,N,InputType="String",Label="...

10.5 with LLApi.dll
A<1,?,'inputs'={A<1,?,InputType="String", ...

The LLList of params is clearly not correct, but without examples is tough.

Not much I can say other than to state the obvious you ask OT support they will tell you to use CWS.I have had success using lapi old libraries against newer and vice versa.Since it is hitting your break point I am almost confident that if you or somebody knowledgeable in oscript can get it going.I would have cheated because in escan programming one could use MS Jscript(?) shouldn't it be able to call databases? thinking a LR really is returning rows from tables

If only I could find any example on how to use CWS from ES. I mean, it's clear to me how to use them in a Java/Maven project (import wsdl) or in a C# project (adding service references) but I don't see how could I put everything in a single JScript.NET.

I think our "server hardening" prevent querying from clients

Thank you, R.

Hi Roberto,

I realize this thread is quite old now, but I recently embarked on trying to do something very similar to what you're describing in eScan and did ultimately have some success. The key to making parameters work for us when calling the RunReport() method turned out to be getting the value passed for the "label" key just right. Your code seems to work with this one change:

assocFolder.Add("label",new LLString("inputLabel1"));

The value for the label key MUST be "inputLabel<N>" where <N> is the number of the input in the LR, and it is case sensitive (notice the capital L). "inputLabel" appears to be a hard-coded string in the API so if you change the input label in the LR definition, you WILL NOT be able to pass a value to it via LAPI. This API method appears to be poorly written, and poorly documented. Without this information, it's virually impossible to get this to work without digging into the API's source code (which is what I ultimately did).

Hi Mark,

Good to know, I suggest you anyway to make your own dll (where CWS ar called) and add it as reference to your ES profile. In this way you will be ready eventually for ES16.
