Invoke Operation (Beta) tool in Jitterbit Integration Studio

Introduction

The Invoke Operation (Beta) tool is a project component that is used as a step in an operation to run a specified operation that exists in the current project. It can be used wherever you would normally use a script (as an operation step) dedicated to the RunOperation function.

Important

Invoke Operation (Beta) runs operations synchronously, meaning the called operation and any child operations must complete before the next operation can begin. To run operations asynchronously, use the RunOperation function in a script.

Create an Invoke Operation instance

A new instance of an Invoke Operation (Beta) tool can be created from these locations:

The project pane's Components tab using the Create New menu (see Components tab actions menu in Project pane Components tab).
The design component palette's Tools tab (see Tools in Design component palette).

An existing Invoke Operation (Beta) tool can be edited from these locations:

The design canvas (see Component actions menu in Design canvas).
The project pane's Components tab (see Component actions menu in Project pane Components tab).

Configure an Invoke Operation tool

The Invoke Operation (Beta) configuration screen includes these fields and actions:

invoke operation configuration

Operation: Use the menu to select an operation. Operations within the current project are listed as options in the menu.
Save Changes: After making changes to a new or existing configuration, click to save and close the configuration.
Discard Changes: After making changes to a new or existing configuration, click to close the configuration without saving. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Once configured, the Invoke Operation (Beta) instance is named the same as the name of the operation it is calling.

Note

An operation reference or line is not produced for operations linked through the Invoke Operation (Beta) tool.
