How to read a file from Remote Server

Former Member — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 07:39:06 GMT

Hi All,

I want to know how we can get a file from remote server. I'm using MII 12.1 SP07.

The scenario is explained below:

Some third party application will create a xml file and saves it to its local server drive periodically. And MII needs to read that file from third party server(in same network) and will do the some manipulation on that file.

I know that I can load a file from FTP server,but that application is not saving the file in FTP server.

Also referred some below mentioned threads,but didn't find the solution:

[Thread 1|]

[Thread 2|]

Please suggest.

Regards,

Suresh Hiremath

hi Suresh,

Here is a way to display a file that is on a remote server

function OpenWorkInstructionsClick()

{

//window.open("http://intranet/server/directory/directory/assembly instructions.doc","WorkInstruction","menubar=1,resizable=1,width=975,height=800") ;

window.open("http://intranet/server/directory/directory/Procedure.doc","WorkInstruction","menubar=1,resizable=1,width=975,height=800") ;

}

The action block XMII Loader could load XML files. In MII server you need to do remote map to the remote server. Then in the action block you could load the content of the file .
