Overview

The External Objects feature within m-Power allows developers to call their own back-end business logic. External Objects can be written in a variety of programming languages, such as SQL, Java, RPG, and CL. When adding an external object to an application, you will be brought to the following screen.

Select the external object and the desired location from the drop down list.

Once you have selected the object, the Parameter Information box will populate with parameters based on the external object. Either select the fields required for the external object, select Map a Constant and type in a static value, or select nothing if the parameter is not required. Once finished, click “Save External Object”.

You can create external objects to meet your design needs. Before adding a non-standard external object to an application, you must first register the external object in Administration.
