Upload multiple pictures from folder to BC16 webclient without dialog

dep_cornator · 2020-05-19

Hi,

I want to upload multiple pictures from a folder to the BC16 webclient (OnPrem) without a dialog. Therefore I can't use UPLOADINTOSTREAM function and using the file management codeunit is not allowed in an extension.

Is there a possible workaround (SQL query, PowerShell, Webservice)?

Hello @dep_cornator ,

You can use something like that:

        DirectoryPath := 'C:\run';
        fileMgt.GetServerDirectoryFilesListInclSubDirs(TempNameValueBuffer, DirectoryPath);
        if TempNameValueBuffer.FindSet() then
            repeat
                if fileMgt.GetFileName(TempNameValueBuffer.Name) = 'start.ps1' then begin
                    fileMgt.BLOBImportFromServerFile(TempBlob, TempNameValueBuffer.Name);
                    if TempBlob.HasValue() then begin
                        TempBlob.CreateInStream(InStr);
                        InStr.ReadText(qTexto);
                    end;
                    exit;
                end;
            until TempNameValueBuffer.Next() = 0;

But the paths and files must be in the server, you don't have access to the client file system, later on with the InStream you can do whatever you want.

Hello @dep_cornator ,

If your app target is "OnPrem"

You can use the file management codeunit.

How @ftornero? It's not allowed to use UploadFileSilent in a BC16 extension?

Message in Dutch saying 'This action is not available for the online version of the app.'
