Hi all,
I've created a solution for my client where they want to upload Customer documents into a folder on a server, and then store the details in the GT4801A Media Object by Work Order. Then, they can see the documents as attachments in the system etc.
So, the screen guides the user through some questions and then dynamically creates a Folder on the Server for the Work Order.
The user then uploads whatever files into the Work Order folder, and then clicks a button which then loops through the folder, picks each file from the Work Order Folder and then checks if it exists in GT4801A and if it doesn't, then inserts the GT4801A record in F00165.
This all works perfectly.
On a Fat Client I can run the Execute B34A1030 'ExecuteExternalProgram' to kick off a explorer.exe (windows Explorer) window (by sending a command = 'start %windir%\explorer.exe WorkOrderFolderPath') to display the Work Order folder created on the server for users. User can then dump the files and then close the window and Press a button on my form to upload the files in GT4801A.
Problem is on Thin Client this doesn't work.
So for now I display the Work Orders Folder Path in the Application for the user to 'Cut and Paste' into windows explorer themselves which works fine, but I'd much prefer to open a Windows Explorer sessions automatically and make a far slicker solution.
Note : I've also tried using Orchestrator to kick off various jRuby code I've found on the Web and none of it works, some statements say they worked (no errors) but didn't appear to do anything. I also tried putting the Work Orders Folder Path as a text constant on the form and made it 'clickable' and still nothing.
Is it even possible to do this on Thin Client?
Is JDE somehow stopping it from opening?
Has anyone else managed to open a specific folder path in Windows Explorer from thin client?
