You can access any methods, like Logging, Utils/Tools, Email, Connectors, Business Objects, Plugins, Users, Permissions, Groups and Roles of Simplifier by using the Simplifier object.

Variables marked with question marks are optional parameters.

Connectors

Connectors

Simplifier.Connector.<ConnectorName>.<CallName>
Executes a connector call. The input parameters are defined in the input object (payload).
Input : (payload?: string|object) Result: object

input object structure depends on the input parameters configured in the connector call

 The result object of the defined connector call, as defined in the output parameters.

Examples:

var connectorCallResult = Simplifier.Connector.Fruits.selectAllFruits({});
var connectorCallResult2 = Simplifier.Connector.Fruits.insertFruit({name: "apple", color: "red"});

 

Simplifier.Connector.<ConnectorName>
**DEPRECATED** Executes a connector. The connector call and the input parameters are defined in the input object (payload).
Input : (payload?: string|object) Result: object

input object structure depends on the connector type (SQL, SOAP, etc.)

For example, for SQL:

request: String
mode: String

 The result object of the defined connector call.

Example:

var connectorResult = Simplifier.Connector.Fruits({request: "SELECT * FROM Fruit;", mode: "query"});

Business Objects

Business Objects

Simplifier.BusinessObject.<BusinessObjectName>.<FunctionName>
Executes a server-side business object function.
Input : (payload?: string|object, parametrized?: boolean = true) Result: object

payload: Object – the input parameters, as defined in the business object function. If the function has no input parameters, the payload can either be an empty object or omitted
parametrized: Boolean? (default: true)

 The result object of the business object function, as defined in the output parameters.

Examples:

var oResult = Simplifier.BusinessObject.ITIZ_User.getUserDataByUsername({s_username: "trainer"});
var oResultUnparametrized = Simplifier.BusinessObject.ITIZ_User.getUserDataByUsername("{\"s_username\": \"trainer\"}", false);

 

Simplifier.CurrentBusinessObject.<FunctionName>
Executes a server-side business object function contained within the currently used server-side business object.
Input : (payload?: string|object, parametrized?: boolean = true) Result: object

payload: Object – the input parameters, as defined in the business object function. If the function has no input parameters, the payload can either be an empty object or omitted
parametrized: Boolean? (default: true)

 The result object of the business object function, as defined in the output parameters.
