Folder Path in BC365 OnPrem (BC24.2)

Posted on by CU14071140-0

Hello everyone,

I am facing a challenge and hope someone can help me.
I am using the OnPrem version of Business Central 365 and have set up my instance via the BCContainerWizard in Docker. I am using the WebClient.

My goal:
I want the user to be able to open the File Explorer through the AssistEdit icon or the OnLookup function in the "Folder Path" field to select a folder. The selected path should then be entered into the field.

I appreciate any help and guidance on how to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Thomas

    Hi Saurav,

    thank you for pointing out the "Universal Code Initiative." I wasn't aware of that.

    Since my project involves creating folder monitoring for local servers, I'll need to consider alternative solutions.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Best regards,
    Thomas

    Hi,
     
    You cannot access local file system with a cloud optimized extension.
     
    If your extension is not cloud optimized, then customer need to buy additional module in license for which customer need to pay per user / per year. These modules price increases every year.
     
    ** Read the current pricing using this article - The “Universal Code Initiative” (waldo.be)
     
    But if you are doing it for your learning / testing with developer license then you can use -
     
    • Function - UploadFile from Codeunit 419 - File Management
    • For this you will have to mark app.json (property - "target": "OnPrem")
     
    Hope this helps you.
     
    Regards,
    Saurav Dhyani
