Tadeu Augusto Dutra Pinto, You did not mention what version of ARS your dealing with. ( It can help us to understand what options you might have to work with.)
However, in general, the ARS platform has 5 basic API "operations" that can be done with data. ( SUBMT, MODIFY, DELETE, GET ENTRY, and MERGE) The API will allow you to do, or trigger, any of those 5 things. However, it does not allow you to execute a specific Active Link ( a client side feature that is strictly speaking, not part of the API ) nor only a specific Filter that might be part of any or all of the above mentioned operations for an ARS form. However, with all of that said.... Your ARS client program (using the API) can query for data like a Set Field action would. You mentioned the v7.0 API... So take a look at this class and methods. com.remedy.arsys.api.EntryFactory .find(...) .findAndIterate(...) .findByKey(...) .findObjects(...) Just guessing but find would likely be the way to go... then use the first record found and do a EntryFactory.findByKey(...) to get the rest of the field values that your want from the other record. Then let your client program continue on with what it needs to do next with the data it found.... etc.. etc... I hope that helps you to start to find your way around the API, but I suspect that the problem is more fundamental to the design of what your trying to do than with the API usage itself. The part you did not explain is why your do not want to submit a new record. ( I suspect that if the full process was better understood then a better approach might be possible. But it is hard to tell at this point.) Anyways.. I hope that helps. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
