Call Windows Execution EXE file from T24

[Phuong Do Duc]

Hi all,

 

We r using T24 (AIX platform). In my local Computer - Windows XP SP2, I have an execution file created by VB6, named TEST.EXE, stored in  C:\TEMP\

 

From T24, how can I call to this TEST.EXE file ?

 

 

Thank you.

[foxy.md]

As far as I know - yes, you can.
From jBasic subroutine you have to call a VB script, created with
SCRIPT.DESIGNER.
And from the script call Execute to execute your TEST.EXE

[Jim Idle]

You just need a subroutine that does:

 

EXECUTE “TEST.EXE”  ;* When C:\TEMP is in your PATH

 

EXECUTE “C:\TEMP\TEST.EXE” ;* When it isn’t

 

T24 might have something where you can defined a program to be called on certain events, but I don’t know that.

 

Jim

[Simon Verona]

I *think* that the OP wants to run an executable on his local desktop pc from a T24 Application running on AIX on the fileserver....  I know nothing about the T24 front end but it would presumably need to provide some way of running a local application?

Yes, it like Simon Verona said.

 

I've already done with VB Script. I have a VB Script within T24 named TEST.SCRIPT1, To call this Script, from T24 Command Line, I type SPT TEST.SCRIPT1, this Script will run.  It is very easy.

 

1 - I want to know How to call to a Script from a SubRoutine?

2 - How to write a SubRoutine to call to an EXE file from my local Hard disk by SubRoutine?

 

You know, Subroutine is from AIX Server, not in my local computer.

 

Jim's solution did not success, It can not run, I've tried it.

 

Regards.

I know zero about T24, but you will need to see how the SPT command is running the vbscript – there must be something in the utlity that transfers the command from the server to the client...  Once you ‘ve found this out then it should be easy to see what you need to do...

 

As to how you do this, I’m hoping that there is somebody around who *does* know T24 and who can comment..

There are 2 solutions I can think of.

1) If you are running a terminal emulator on your local PC, not the
Windows default telnet or Hyperterminal as they call it, most likely
you have a facility to execute a client program.
The following details are for Accuterm and wIntegrate.
For reference, SOH=CHAR(1), STX=CHAR(2), CR=CHAR(13), ESC=CHAR(27).

For Accuterm emulator is quite simple: PRINT ESC:STX:'<':command:CR:

For wIntegrate emulator is far more complicated, the example below
executes a PC resident BAT file with no arguments.

PRINT ESC:SOH:'Global HScript=BSToAscii(`Dialog RunProgram\rSet
Filename = "C:\\TEST.BAT"\rSet Arguments = ""\rInvoke`)':CR:

PRINT ESC:SOH:'Execute HScript':CR:

For detailed info look for the wIntegrate host routines WIN.PCRUN and
WIN.PCSCRIPT.

2) Unless you need instantaneous response, you can create a common
file where both T24 and your local PC have full rights then make your
PC application pool the file and execute whatever request is getting
from the host.

[Phuong Do Duc]

Can you explain more clear 1st solution ???

 

Give me some example please.

 

Thank you.

 

2008/3/10, x <lucia...@yahoo.com>:

[x]

You should check the documentation of your emulator.
As an example, if you were to use Accuterm and you want to initiate
your TEST.EXE from within a jBASE (T24) program, then the program
should have the statement:
PRINT ESC:STX:'<C:\TEMP\ TEST.EXE':CR:
and Accuterm will start it on your local PC.
Try it first with something simple such as PRINT ESC:STX:'<DIR':CR:

Lucian

[Phuong Do Duc]

Oh, but I dont have any Accuterm document now. I've never seen it before. If you have, can you share to me?

 

Thanks and regards.

I don't think that he has Accuterm.  Phong, Accuterm is a terminal emulation program.  Does Temenos provide a standard terminal emulation program with T24?  That is what you need the doucmentation for to understand how to execute a local executable via the terminal emulation program.

 

Dick

[Phuong Do Duc]

Thanks Dick,

 

I've nerver seen it before.

 

Does Temenos provide a standard terminal emulation program with T24? : NO, THEY DO NOT PROVIDE ACCUTERM to us. Now, I dont have this tool.

 

Please tell me, how can I have Accuterm tool?

 

Thank you Dick

Accuterm is a third-party terminal emulator – see http://www.asent.com/ for more details.

Use third-party? I think we can not use this solution, because we must implement to each client computer ... too much ...

 

Anybody solution?

Hi,

You can create a script in T24 Desktop Script Designer, which uses the
Sexecute command of the Desktop object as follows:

Executable_Path="C:\Program Files\Test.exe"
Desktop.Sexecute Executable_Path, options <-- this is optional

Once you have this working properly by executing it with the SPT
option from the command line, as you mentioned previously, you can
execute the script from a subroutine by using the core T24
CALL.VB.SCRIPT routine as follows:

CALL CALL.VB.SCRIPT("TEST.SCRIPT1")

However this will only work if the subroutine is being called from
within the T24 Desktop, and not through a terminal emulator. or the
T24 browser.

Regards,

Ryan

What client software do you use with T24 – this is the issue, as it is this software that controls the calling the executables on the client PC – not anything to do with jBASE.

[Phuong Do Duc]

Hi Ryan,

 

Your solution is greate, now I can call to a Script by Routine

by this Function: CALL CALL.VB.SCRIPT("TEST.SCRIPT1")

 

But please help me more, Does CALL.VB.SCRIPT accept any optional parameter, like:

CALL CALL.VB.SCRIPT("TEST.SCRIPT1" para1 para2 ...)

 

If possible, please give me an example.

 

Thank you Ryan once again.

As far as I know it is not possible to pass parameters to VB script, but you can call routine from the script using method InvokeRoutine of Desktop object.

buf=Desktop.InvokeRoutine("ROUTINE.NAME","","","","")

InvokeRoutine (RoutineName, Parameters…) -> String Array
Invoke a routine at the server, up to 4 parameters allowed. Returns an array containing the execution results in the routine's parameter list order (assuming the sever routine passes outgoing results back to the routine parameters).

Phuong, This is a good example of why it is helpful to provide a few details when you ask a question.  If you could actually describe how you’re interfacing with JBase/T24 it would provide the rest of us with a context from which we can advise.  For example:  Are you actually using telnet?  If so what terminal emulator are you actually using to connect.  There are many.  Windows/Unix both have built in telnet clients (which are effectively, terminal emulators), but there are also numerous third party emulators; a few: Accuterm, Netterm, ProComm, Wintegrate and ...  Each of the third party emulators uses their ‘own’ logic to cause the emulator to launch a local process, therefore you need to know which emulator/client you’re using before the question can be answered.

 

But perhaps you’re not using telnet at all.  There are other methods for running Jbase app’s: JBase’s “jsh.exe” client, JRCS/OBjEX hosting app’s, and Web/http servers.  These other methods require/offer different solutions for launching processes.  Again a detail that’s significant to the question...

 

And finally, perhaps the Windows Executable is something that doesn’t require a ‘window’ and is something you actually want run on the server which can be run directly from a telnet session; not knowing ‘what type’ app you want to run only leads to presumption.  If the latter is the case, the answer is:

 

EXECUTE CHAR(255):”k”:WindowsCommand

 

I believe from a PROC it is:

 

PQ

HWindowsCommand

PU

Good summary, Tom. As I said in my other post, I'm really ignorant of how
users interact with T24 and the standard client UI for the Temenos
software. There are many ways to connect clients to servers and pass
messages. So far as I've been watching this thread I keep thinking about a
tray/service in Windows that interacts with the server to exchange
messages. This allows any Windows client to interact with an app on any
OS, *nix or otherwise. Without more understanding about what these sites
are using it's guesswork for all of us.

Would it be possible for someone knowledgable in T24 and jBASE to organize
a webinar so that people on both sides of the fence can come together to
understand how things are working, thus allowing us to better help one
another? Lee Burstein would have been ideal for this. I would hope that
someone at Temenos or jBASE International would pick up on this opportunity
to bring their communities a little closer together.

Dear friends,

 

I will describe now for question: why I am interfacing JBase/T24 to outside.

 

In our bank, after USER input new Account ID (or new contract, new entry in FT, DC...), Commit it, we want to show a report (by Vietnamese) immediately. I can not use DEAL SLIP because it can not show Vietnamese language. To show Vietnamese language, we r using Crystal Report. My work now: How to show Crystal Report immediate, it will show details of Application ID just inputted in INAU status. 

 

And my way is:

 

1 - In VERSION.CONTROL, attach a SubRoutine to Application which want to show report immediately. So, when Commit in this Application, Routine is invoked.

 
2 - In this SubRoutine, read ID.NEW, R.NEW, save contents to MDB file and call to Crystal report which used data source from this MDB file to show contents.

 

3 - To save new record to MDB, I must call to Execution Windows file (written by VB6) stored in Local Hard Disk, then save it to MDB file in local hard disk, then call to Crystal report.

 

That's all.

 

So, to save data to MDB and call Crystal report, I must call to external application, in this case I wrote a VB6 EXE file and stored it in Client's local hard disk, this EXE file can call to Crystal report.

 

Our T24 is running in AIX, T24 Desktop Client is running in Windows XP.

 

I can not use third party application like Accuterm, Netterm,...

 

If you have any solution, please explain for me.

 

Thank you very much.

Hi

T24 with UTF8 and the correct versions of jConman, TCS and Desktop is
able to produce deal slips in Vietnamese.

A call to the Help Desk should hopefully point you in the right
direction.

Phuong, The key element here is that you’re using the T24 Desktop Client.  Alas I don’t know anything about this client, but my guess is you have documentation for this client that will advise how to do what you want (look for “Launch Windows App”/”Execute Windows App”/”Run Windows App” in the index); or perhaps someone else on the list will (or already has) advise how to do this.  May I say this ‘fuller’ explanation of what you’re trying to do is much better as it tells us exactly what your trying to do and what tools you have available that you can use to accomplish it.  May I say, it is so good, I truly wish I could help, but unfortunately, I lack T24 Desktop experience.

I think that the earlier post regarding the use of UTF8 and localized T24 is probably what is needed. Better to use an integrated part of the system than your own add-in if you can. jBASE 4.1+ supports complete i18n an l10n and so Vietnamese should not be a problem if the application work has been done, and it sounds like it has.

Dear all friends,

 

Now I have my own solution, base on Script & OLE server.

 

1 - After commit, call to a Routine

2 - In this Routine, call to a Script

3 - In Script, call to an EXE file (VB60)

4 - When a Window (by EXE) show, User can choose which Account or Contract need to show report and what kind of report need to show after Commit.

 

Thats all, it can show Report immediately by some click.

 

Thank you all for supporting me.

 

Regards.
