Access local files with RTC

Member Posts: 70
Hello guru's!
To import a XML-file with a XMLPort we use codeunit Common Dialog Management to select a file.
When we run the codeunit in classic there is no problem importing the file which we store on my desktop. But when I run the codeunit in the RTC, the import fails because it can't find the specified path. I understand that the RTC tries to access the given path in its own environment: the service tier.
So the classic client accesses the local machine -> C:\Users\BlaBlah\ImportFile.xml but the RTC tries to access the service tier -> C:\Users\BlaBlah\ImportFile.xml
Stupid RTC. Y U NOT use local settings?!
My question: how can I make the RTC to use my local file path instead of the service tier file path?

I haven't used this myself so far but it seems to do what is needed.

take a look to this:

It works as expected... More or Less...
I stole the code from Report Import Profiles (9172), just like Mohana said. It works like a charm.
The function UPLOAD transfers the local file to a tmp-folder on the service tier, from there I can import it. NICE!
Great :thumbsup:
