Posted on by Damjan Zakojc 439

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

    Hi,

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

    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.

    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
