Invoke Executable
|
Invokes an executable file with command parameters and saves the output stream of the process into a string variable. Note: Invoking an executable should be regarded as a last resort for integration, since execution management and error reporting are quite primitive and can be difficult to manage. However, in some cases, this is the only viable solution.
Why use it
- To integrate LiveCycle with a third party legacy system. For example: Initiate a backup sequence, or call an agent to initiate an ERP batch upload.
- You need to integrate with a third-party application that doesn't have any other integration mechanism other than native executables. You are left with no choice but to run an exe or batch file to do interfacing from LiveCycle.
