Helloo everybody,
I have a process running on server side and I would like create a file and save it in a local path.
What is the best way to ddo it ?
Thank you

Ok Martin Thank you for your advice and your time !
It's possible in cases when it's executed from client and not from batch server. Not supporting batch processing looks like a big limitation of your design, so I would think not twice but fourth times before investing time to a solution that means more work and offers less.
Ok Martin, there is no a way is this sysoperation to create a file on client ?
Something like afterOperation ?
What you're saying isn't possible. copyFileToClient_Client() is a client-bound method, so it can't run in CIL. Your code must be running as X++, otherwise it would fail when trying to execute copyFileToClient_Client().
Yes Full CIL is generated.
The file is generated by Class SalesInvoicePost in endPost method
The file is created on C:\temp on server (ok), then I want to copy it to client side:
MyCode :
SysFileStoreManager::copyFileToClient_Client(MyGetPackedFileServer(fileNameServer),fileNameClient);
static server container MyGetPackedFileServer(Filename _fileName)
{
#FILE
BinData binData = new BinData();
new FileIOPermission(_fileName, #io_read).assert();
binData.loadFile(_fileName); // in CIL I have the issue Unable to load file
return binData.getData();
}
Thanks
First make sure you've generated CIL.
Then please give us more information. What's your code, how did you run in in X++ on server (I want to be sure it was really on server) and in CIL?
Another question Martin, I have an issue when I lunch in CIL.
1.I create my file on server side ok
2.I want to load my file binData.loadFile(filenameServer), it deos not work : "Unable to load file"
In Xpp it runs !
Have an idea
When posting interactively, you could use the approach with copying to client, but it's not possible with batch postings.
I strongly recommend you use the same approach for both; i.e. a network folder. You can map it as a local drive, let's say H:, and simply tell them to look for files on H:\... instead of C:\....
In my case I have to generate a file to client side automatically when I am posting a sales order invoice.
It's possible to do that in one step ? During posting ?
Yes, that's what I was talking about the second paragraph - copying the data from server to client and using code on client to store the data to a file.
