Move a File after processing the file in RTC

paramb

Hi All,

I have a requirement: My program uses an XML Port to importa data from a flat file. The client will select the file and after processing the file, the file must be moved to a new folder named 'Processed'. This can be done from classsic with ease. But when attempting to do this from RTC, It works good when the program is executed from the server and fails when executed from a client system. I am aware that RTC executes the code in the middle tier server that is why the program erroring out when executed from the client.

I would really appreciate if some one can suggest a way to get this requirement met.

We need to upload the file to Servicetier machine first and then import and then download/move to processed folder..

hi..
can we move file from our local to server?

I use this code

IF FILE.COPY(TEMPORARYPATH + FileName,FileFolder + FileName) THEN;

if filefolder --> \Folder Name
this one is ok... successfully copied

but how about if i want to move it to server
filefolder --> \\NAVSERVER\NAVFOLDER
this one nothing happened... copy failed

You need to use UPLOAD function.

or you can google with "Uploading a File from a Client to Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server"

it was said

UPLOAD('Upload file','C:\','Text file(*.txt)|*.txt','Test.txt',varTest)

what is vartest?

Failed

UPLOAD('Upload file','C:\','Text file(*.txt)|*.txt','Test.txt',FileFolder +'Test.txt',);

Last value is the file name in Server Machine.
What do you mean by failed? ypu should be clear if you get any error message.

FileFolder +'Test.txt',

Why do you have a , (comma) at the end?

i want to move file Test.txt
from C:\ to \\NAVSVR

what wrong with this code?

FileFolder := '\\NAVSVR\Test.txt';
UPLOAD('Upload file','C:\Test.txt','Text file(*.txt)|*.txt','Test.txt',FileFolder);

instead of moving file
it only open dialog box

Wait a second.

Can you tell me what exactly your requirement and when do you need this?

Did you try by giving server path here instead of //NAVSERVER
like
FileFolder := 'C:\Test.txt';
