Copy to external device speed issues

MatStephensSandA

Hi all.

We are a Navision financials customer running on a NATIVE 2.6 database with 3.7 executables.

As i Love Navision (sorry cant bring myself to call it MBS Dynamics NAV) i try to do as much as i can in and through Navision.
One thing i do daily is to do a csv export of key data. this is NOT the issue as it works fine.

The issue is that this data is then copied to 3 seperate locations throughout the business (from within Navision).
If one of these locations (Servers) is unavailable for any reason then the copy does not fail as i have built in basic redundancy.

The issue is the time the process takes to fail then move on.

Is there a way to speed up the failed write transaction??

As i said the basics of my code does work its just not quick enough to be practical.
An example of the the code i have implemented is attached

CLEAR(lvWOFilename);
lvWOFilename := DRExportLocations."Nav DR Location 1" + 'WOEXPORT.CSV';
IF EXISTS(lvWOFilename) THEN
  ERASE(lvWOFilename);
IF NOT COPY(WOFilename,lvWOFilename) THEN
  Fail1 := TRUE
ELSE
........

Thanks in advance

I suggest to use Script host automation to do the copying of the file instead.
