Hi All,

I want to run two different dataports automatically after a given time period. I was thinking of useing NAS for that. Is it possible to run dataport from NAS (may be via codeunit)

Thanks in Advance

    No, you can't run dataports with NAS. You have to write a CU that will do the work of a Dataport.

    1) If you will search for dataport and NAS on this forum, there will be many posts with answers for you...

    2) Shortly - you cannot run Dataport under NAS in any way. You can use XMLPort or write the code to read the file directly in codeunit or report...

    In fact, you can. The NAS should trigger a Codeunit, from which you can launch the Dataport. In the codeunit, you can use something like this:
    CLEAR(ExpSalesDoc);
ExpSalesDoc.FILENAME := STRSUBSTNO('%1Document.txt','C:\');
ExpSalesDoc.RUN;

    Where the ExpSalesDoc is your dataport. :D

    Did you tried that? It is not possible because NAS will complain that Dataport object cannot be run under NAS (same message like when Form or Dialog is used...) 8)

    Hi Kine, you're right, I'm wrong. :-#
