Opening IFS Folder

[rmullis]

I have a particular program in the green-screen environment that allows the user to double-click a field on a screen and it opens a particular folder in the IFS in Windows Explorer. Needless to say, this works with no problem in the green-screen environment. I am trying to replicate this in PROFOUND UI using the loadPCCommandApplet and runPCCommand java scripts. Everytime I try to open the same folder that gets opened in green-screen, I get the following error:

java.io.IOException:Cannot run program "\\POWER6\CRM\RMULLIS":CreateProcess error = 5, Access is denied.

I have checked every folder in the path and they have full authority for *PUBLIC. Also, as I said previously, this folder opens fine in green-screen. Is there any other place that I need to check authority/permission?

Try something for me. Open the path in windows explorer first and log in when prompted. Then close it out and run your program.

I think the problem is that since you are not logged into iAccess, explorer is attempting to open the share with your windows user and password. Let me know what happens.

Brian,

I already had a drive mapped to the IFS from earlier that asked me for my user id and password, but I disconnected it any way and remapped the drive to the IFS. Unfortunately, it gave me the same error.

Thanks,
Robert

Any suggestions on this. I changed my screen to use window.open, instead of runPCCommand. Unfortunately, it gave me the same error, "Access denied". I have checked the authority of the IFS and the folders I am trying to access and *PUBLIC has full authority to them.

I have finally resolved the issue by setting up the following script in the onclick event:

var openfile = "explorer \\\\power6\\crm\\rmullis\\";runPCCommand(openfile);

In the green-screen environment with the STRPCCMD, all I had to do was "start \\power6\crm\rmullis\"

Also, taking this one step further, I was able to open files from the IFS with the following script:

var openfile = "RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL \\\\power6\\crm\\rmullis\\rjmtest.pdf";runPCCommand(openfile);

Ah, yes. I did not notice that you didn't escape your \ characters. sorry for the confusion. Glad you worked it out.

Brian,

Just for clarification, I did have my '\' "escaped" in my IFS folder name. For some reason, I had to call the Windows Explorer in Profound, but in green-screen, the generic "start" worked for opening a folder or any type of file.

[Brian]

Yes, you are correct. The Java applet is a little more particular than the green screen STRPCCMD functionality. Although, I have never been a fan of "start" because of the ugly dos window that opens when using it. What you have now is a better option, in my opinion.

I did have the "RUNDLL32", but that stopped working on Windows 7 PCs. "START" was the only thing I could get working for STRPCCMD in green-screen.
