Calling an Application Engine from PeopleCode

The PeopleCode below will show you how to call an Application Engine from PeopleCode. Some refer to this as “Real-Time Application Engine Processing.” For example, when a user save’s a page, you may want a specific App engine program to run. You can also execute this code in a field change event.

The following code calls the Application Engine program named YouAppEngProg, and passes it the necessary initialization values.

&MYRECORD = CreateRecord(RECORD.MY_INIT_VALUES);
&MYRECORD.FIELD1.Value = "123abc"; /* here you are setting the initial values needed by your application engine */
CallAppEngine("YouAppEngProg", &MYRECORD);
