Error: BOX API can't be used from non-interactive sessions.

Hi Experts,

I am trying to create and post statements through x++ code.

Statement got created and it has updated 'Statement number' in RetailTransactionTable & RetailTransactionSalesTrans

Also all values are updated properly in RetailStatementTable.

However, the below code which is used to post statements is throwing an error "BOX API can't be used from non-interactive sessions"

RetailStoreOrderSynchronizer::CreateStoreSalesorders (statementTable.statementId, true);

The above line is the replica of native code which posts statements used in batch and also while posting statements manually.

Am I missing any of the setups etc.

Thanks.

I see, it's in run() method of RetailStatementPost class.

Now you know why this happens. I see a few things your can do about it:

Extract the logic you want from run() to a separate method (without the logic you don't want).

Claim that it's a bug and ask Microsoft to fix it.

Run your logic in batch even if it's not your preference.

Hack isInBatch() and let it return true in this case even if it's not in batch (which may have unexpected consequences).

Hi Martin,

Below piece of code in RetailStatementPost is causing this error

if (!this.isInBatch())

{

if (operationProgress)

{

operationprogress.reset();

}

if (callerObject)

{

callerObject.activate(true);

}

Box::info("@RET4164");

}

In my case, we are not using either UI or running a batch to create and post statement. So by default system is considering that Box::info()

is getting executed from UI. I have either overlay of extend this class and respective method to fix the error.
