How to generate a file using TextIO class on the server

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi everybody,

I have a problem generating a file with the textIO class from the server, that is the code:

filename =  custFormletterParameters.DocumentAutoindexPathINL + strFmt("%1_%2.csv", @"\ATECNA", strDate);
file = new TextIo(filename, #IO_APPEND);
perm = new FileIoPermission(filename, "W");
perm.assert();

That is a part of a class wthat is going to be runned on bacth. To test the class y set the "RunOn" property to "Server" (if I use "Called from" it works fine). When I launch the class using an action menuItem, the file variable gets NULL value... Does anybody knows how can I generate a file from the server?

Thanks everybody.

    The permission should be given prior to the new TextIo command

    filename =  custFormletterParameters.DocumentAutoindexPathINL + strFmt("%1_%2.csv", @"\ATECNA", strDate);

    perm = new FileIoPermission(filename, "W");

    perm.assert();

    file = new TextIo(filename, #IO_APPEND);

    Is the file accessible from server? And does the AOS service account permissions to write into it?

    If you run the same code from a different computer (client instead of server) and as a different user, you obviously can get different results.
