In the below snippet, Zylker_Orders is the target Creator application's link name:
  1. try {
  2. // your code goes here

  3.      ZCApplication firstApp = appList.get(0);
  4.      List<ZCSection> sections =
  5.      ZOHOCreatorUtil.getApplicationDetails(firstApp);
  6.  } catch (ZCException e) {
  7.          e.printStackTrace();
  8.          // Handle Error
  9.  }

To fetch a form's meta information

In the below snippet, Orders is the target form's link name:
  1. try {
  2.     ... // your code goes here
  3.     ZCSection firstSection = sections.get(0);
  4.     ZCComponent firstComponent =
  5.     firstSection.getComponents().get(0);
  6.     if(firstComponent.getType().equals(ZCComponentType.FORM)){
  7.         ZCForm form = FormUtil.getForm(firstComponent);
  8.     }
  9. } catch (ZCException e) {
  10.     e.printStackTrace();
  11.     // Handle Error
  12. }

To fetch a report's meta information

In the below snippet, All_Orders is the target report's report name:
  1. try {
  2.     ... // your code goes here
  3.     ZCSection firstSection = sections.get(0);
  4.     ZCComponent firstComponent =
  5.     firstSection.getComponents().get(0);
  6.     if(firstComponent.getType().equals(ZCComponentType.REPORT)){
  7.         ZCReport report = ReportUtil.getReport(firstComponent);
  8.     }
  9. } catch (ZCException e) {
  10.     e.printStackTrace();
  11.     // Handle Error
  12. } catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
  13.     e.printStackTrace();
  14. }
