SHELL Command

bekio

Does SHELL Command works in NAS, because i have made one Codeunit and it gives me warning when i compile this codeunit. I want this codeunit to be executed with job queue.
but in CSIDE help it says:
The SHELL function can only be used with a text constant on Microsoft Dynamics NAV Application Server.
The SHELL function is not supported in the RoleTailored client.

I need HELP in solving this problem.

Have you tried it?

bekio

IN clasic is ok but in NAS i didn't tried it.
Because i get the same warning like wen i was working with dataports.

How does your SHELL Code looks like? Their can be some trouble using parameters.

bekio

I just want to extract files and archive with winrar.
I have created a batch file to exctract files from one shared folder to location to temp folder, and than import this text files in NAV. And i want to execute this text file from Navision, and i have used Shell Command.
If you have better idea, even not using shell pleas tell me.

Thanks pduck,

SHELL('C:\Extract.bat');

Then this batch has inside code to extract data and put to another folder.

That is not a text constant... a Text Constant is what you define in View - C/AL Globals (or locals) - Text Constants tab

pduck

Please read the help file for SHELL. Everything is explained there. You need to define a constant containing your Batch-Comand and pass this to the SHELL comand.

TEXT001 = C:\Extract.bat <- define this as a constant

Your Code:
SHELL(TEXT001);

I have done this, and Job Queue executes good, but the Shell command that executes batch file does not work, and also does not give me any warning in Event viewer.

Any idea? :roll:

If you are not willing to show us the exact SHELL command you use, they I'm afraid it stops here ](*,)

Attached you have what i have used to execute.

And also, when i want something to change in codeunit, to add som additional part of code to be executed, it dosn't exectute that part of codeunit. Is stored as a file somewhere out this Job Queue.

For Example i have comentet some lines and save codeunit, and it stills executes those lines, so i need to create another job queue with last changes of codeunit to be executet without those lines.

Thanks Luc,

OK is with SHELL but is not ok with this questions.

It means, that you need to restart the NAS executing the job queue... source of your problem is object cache...

bekio

So if i extend object cache does it means that without restarting NAS it is going to get the latest changes of codeunit.

Thanks kine

kine

No, it will not help, theoretically it will be worse (the objects will be in the cache longer time...). It is standard that you need to restart NAS when you change objectes in the application. It is same like with other clients connected to the database...

bekio

Thanks for information Kine, it was very helpful for me!
