Hello i've been looking for an alternative way for 'shell' command (obsolete for RTC) and I found some posts where they explain how to use wshShell automation.

Using this posts i wrote this code:
CREATE(VarAutomation);
VarAutomationExec := VarAutomation.Exec(Parametros2);
VarExit := VarAutomationExec.Status;
WHILE VarExit = 0 DO BEGIN
  SLEEP(500);
  VarExit := VarAutomationExec.Status;
END;

CLEAR(VarAutomation);

*where Parametros2 = 'c:\myprogram.exe parameters'

When i run this in classic client it works but running this code in RTC next message is shown:

'This message is for C/AL programmers: The call to meber Exec failed: The system can not find the path specified'

i've executed this from the server and remotely and result is the same.

Does anybody know what's happening?

Thanks!

    When you create an automation like that it runs on the Service Tier.
    The Service Tier probably doesn't know what 'c:\myprogram.exe' is.

    To make it run on your local pc you must create it like this: 
    CREATE(VarAutomation, TRUE, ISSERVICETIER);

    Then it may or may not work. You will have to try it. It depends on what you do with the automation.
