</tObject>

</tArg>

</OpenEax>

</s:Body>

SOAP response:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<soapenv:Body>

</id>

</OpenEaxResult>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

JSON request:

{
 "OpenEax" : 
  {
   "tObject" : 
    {
     "id" : "S1!M!189"
    },
   "tArg" : 
    {
     "args" : 
      {
       "storeObject" : "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

JSON response:

{
 "OpenEaxResult" : 
  {
   "id" : 
    {
     "id" : "S1!M!S!E1"
    }
  }
}

The OpenEax function specified below opens express report in the repository. The repository connection moniker and the express report identifier are sent as input parameters. The example uses the FindObjectById function, which code is given in the Getting Object Description by Its Identifier example. The result of the operation is the result of the function.

    public static OpenEaxResult OpenEax(MbId mb, string eaxId)
    {
        var somClient = new SomPortTypeClient(); //Proxy object for operation execution
        //Search repository object
        var eaxObj = FindObjectById(mb, eaxId);
        //Operation execution parameters
        var tOpen = new OpenEax()
        {
            tArg = new OpenEaxArg()
            {
                args = new EaxOpenArgs()
            },
            //Form object moniker
            tObject = new OdId() { id = mb.id + "!" + eaxObj.k}
        };
        //Open express report
        var result = somClient.OpenEax(tOpen);
        return result;
    }
