Uploading file to ftp in batch mode

Posted on by Khan 1,055

Hi,

I have this job that generates a couple of files and writes them on to the ftp.

However, now I want the same job to be batchable.

I wanted to know if its possible to do that in batch mode?

I am making use of a .net dll for ftp transfer process.

Is it possible to do so?

Can someone share a link for reference?

Many thanks! :)

    Obviously the assembly or one of its dependencies can't be loaded. Either they're not installed or they can't be loaded to 64-bit process. If you're unable to find the problem by yourself, use Assembly Binding Log Viewer.

    I have path to pick the CSV file, the file will be encrypted and converted to *. GPG format which client requires processing the file. It should be processed through Batch with expected intervals.

    I have created the AX Batch class to perform this operation. Its working fine when I run the process through menu item if I add the menu item in batch then the issue stops me to proceed further.

    Dot Net team has created the *exe and DLL for encryption which is installed in x86 in the same AX server.

    I have installed the DLL in Client Bin and Application Bin(AOS).

    Kindly suggest me your input to resolve this.

    It seems that you're using an assembly that you haven't installed on AOS.

    Dear Martin,

    I will be getting the below issue when generating file(FTP) through Batch.

    Kindly provide your input to resolve the issue.

    Issue:

    Yes, You can do it in AX

    Create a class in AX ClassA

    extend ClassA to RunBaseBatch

    Create a main() method in the class

    Call run() method in main() method

    in run() method implement you logic

    Compile the class to no error

    Create Action Menu Item using class

    Run Action menu Item

    Once Action menu Item runs you will find a dialog box with Batch tab

    you batch tab to setup your process for batch processing

    Validate if batch job is running and you are getting your expected result.

    Please verify and update if information provided is helpful

    Please let me know if you need any further technical help related to this.

    Yes, unless you use some logic that requires AX client (which is not available in server batches).

    If you currently execute your code in a job, i.e. on client, you may potentially run into some issues with the fact that the AOS is (usually) on a different machine and it's a 64-bit process, while the client is a 32-bit one (supposing you're using a recent AX version).
