Posted on by Damjan Zakojc 431

Hi All,

I need a solution to create ZIP file, but I am stucked a little. I can create a ZIP archive, but I do not want to download it to local client, instead I need to save ZIP file on servers' temp folder.

I have created a function to save a PDF file on server temp folder, rename the file and upload the file to the FTP. Everything work as expected. Now, I jave to create a ZIP file, insert PDF file to that ZIP file and save the ZIP file on servers' temp folder, by not downloading ZIP file to local client.

Any suggestions? I can also use .net for this purpose, since client has BC deployed on-prem (v19).

Thanks Damjan

    I have developed custom solution using codunit FileManagment and WinSCP application where procedure first prints a report into the PDF file and add it into the tempblob, creates a ZIP archive, adds PDF file from tempblob into the created ZIP archive, then a TXT file is created and each PDF file is inserted as new line in that TXT file, then the procedure closes TXT file and also the ZIP archive; saves ZIP archive in the TEMP folder of the BCST server and uploads ZIP file from temp folder and TXT file to the folder on SFTP server.

    Thanks

    Hi, If it is the v19 on-pre version, the previous ways in nav should work. I hope the following information can give you some hints.

    Hi,

    You can try to save the file directly with Azure function using Blob storage.
