Importing a .txt file through Role Tailored Client

TESDarrenA

Hi,

Is anyone successfully importing .txt files through the RTC into NAV?

I'm not having much luck reading it into the excel buffer table.

I get "The specified Path is Invalid"


If I run the same code through classic client it works perfect. ](*,)

Cheers for your time.

In RTC, the path is NOT on the client but on the service tier.

Is it possible in the RTC to access to the local files ?
Something like IMPORT in the classic client ?

Use UNC path to specify the file location.

There are some functions to handle this. UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD etc.
You can find find an example for importing a BLOB in Codeunit 419 3-Tier Automation Mgt..

I suggest that you look into codeunit 419 "3-Tier Automation Mgt." for inspiration. NAV2009 has some new C/AL commands for handling up- and download to/from the server, e.g. DOWNLOAD(FromFile,DialogTitle,ToFolder,ToFilter,ToFile). The functions are defined both for files and streams.
