Calling a .exe program within Profound UI

[nascar88]

Is there a way to call a .exe program in a Profound UI application ?

Yes we provide an API to allow you to call a windows program. See the attached PDF.

The API requires some Javascript but the PDF gives examples of how to use it. The Javascript should be in a new file on the IFS but the file also needs to be linked to the Profound UI application page.


You can do this by using the "external javascript" property on one of your record formats in Profound UI. There is a file browser that you can use to select the file. The file must be located somewhere inside the /www/profoundui/htdocs folder. It's recommended to put it into /www/profoundui/htdocs/profoundui/userdata/js. You may need to create the folder.
