All,
We have installed our Web focus server s on Windows 2008 servers. Is that possible to write a dummy file or report output to a UNIX box or in UNIX File System? If so can I get any sample code if you have any?

Thanks In Advance.

I would think ReportCaster has that capability.
It has a Distribution FTP option.

Did you try with below option.
1. Create the report output, hold it in the windows server.
2. At the end of the report fex file, call a batch file.
3. within the batch file, write ftp script to put the saved report output to unix server.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Ram

Hi RaviD,

if FTP is not an option for you but samba / CIFS is you could also use "-DOS net use" commands to achieve your goal.

e.g.

 
-* I assume that you have created a hold-html report named my_report.htm
-* so TABLE FILE ... ON TABLE HOLD AS MY_REPORT FORMAT HTML ... 
-* change this if you do something else

-SET &TMPPATH = TEMPPATH(255,'A255');
-SET &TMPPATH = TRUNCATE(&TMPPATH);

-* connect to your unix box using net use - (! <password> will have to be in plain text here !)
-DOS net use \\your_unix_server\your_path "<password>" /USER:your_user_on_the_unix_box
-* use copy to transfer your hold-file via network (! unencrypted !)
-DOS copy &TMPPATH|my_report.htm \\your_unix_server\your_path\
-* disconnet from your unix box
-DOS net use \\your_unix_server\your_path /DELETE


Cheers Linne
