Custom web screen

Post by Jagan »

Hi,

We have a requirement to build a custom screen in web to select the document(s) and ftp the documents to a specified folder in a server. I know we can
write VBA macro coding in perspectives and do this. Since TM1 web does not support macro coding,we are trying to see if this can be achieved through APIs.Please share if you have any ideas.

Thanks
Jagan

You don't need very much to achieve this. Just a lightweight .Net or Java website with a button to launch the OS browse/open file dialog and then a code module to take the results of the dialog selection and copy to the destination folder. All you need in a TM1 websheet is a hyperlink to the said custom html page. The code snipits needed to launch the browse dialog and file transfer are readily available. It doesn't take much to put it together.
Please place all requests for help in a public thread. I will not answer PMs requesting assistance.
