Can the pui.runPCCommand() function run against .exe programs stored on the IFS? If so, please provide an example. Thanks.

Rick,

pui.runPCCommand() runs a command on your PC. It does not run on IBM i.

Your PC does not have an "IFS", so this question doesn't make any sense. If your PC has a drive mapped to the IBM i's IFS, then the PC will treat the drive the same as any other drive, so there is no difference between running from the IFS and running anywhere else. And if there was a difference, that difference would be in your PC or IBM i configuration, it would not be in Profound UI.

Oh ok Scott. I am looking for a way to process an .exe program from the IFS. Would do you recommend?

Our users love the new interface we created using Profound UI and Genie but Profound UI does not support IBM i data transfers and our users do a lot of uploading and downloading to our system. So I would like to create a link to IBM's ACS data transfer option (acslaunch_win-64.exe /PLUGIN=dtgui) which IBM says could be run from the IFS.

I am not familiar with running that tool. I would suggest that you get familiar with what the proper command is to make that work by testing the different command strings on your PC.

Once you have it working, then run the same command string in Profound UI with pui.runPCCommand().
