Hi Antoined,

I assume you have been fooled by a spam bot.

Check out my super handy blog article where I give an overview of the various Method calls:

JS sample is at the bottom. I also plan a video regarding Method calls on my Youtube channel this week. 🙂

I'm not sure what you are talking about. I don't have a server part of the method.

You can wrap the server part of a shared method with this.isSimulation

When you run a shared method it first runs a simulation on the client and then on server - updating the client with its results (which are usually the same - which is why it's called Optimistic UI).

So, I finally found this:

/**
 * Method to evaluate JavaScript stored as a Method item on the client side.
 * @param {string} methodName the name of the Method item
 * @param {Object} itemDom the item dom
 * @param {Object} [addArgs] Object with any additional parameters.
 */
Aras.prototype.evalItemMethod = function Aras_evalItemMethod(methodName, itemDom, addArgs)

And indeed I am able to call a method when giving it the good methodName. Then, from the other methods, I can access the addArgs array with arguments[1].
