Re: NOT SOLVED: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL to open internal network site
I didn’t notice that, do you think the space may need to be URL-encoded into
%20? Personally I still think it’s the browser security but this is one other
trick to try, you’d have to add an extra action before the run process to do
the replacement but if that works then you would need to write (or find) a
function to URL encode all characters that are not HTML compliant.

The last thing I want to do is muddy the issue, but this rings a faint bell
about browser security.
It has been awhile and I can't recall the specifics, but maybe it will jog
someone else's memory. It was something about trying to open a file on a local
path that the browser (by default) viewed as malicious activity and either did
nothing, or 404'd as a result.
It may not be applicable, but just in case.

You sent this originally: Run Process: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL

The %20 needs to be between the IT and the HD with no spaces. Alternately, can
you change that directory (folder) to IT-HD (or some name with spaces)?

Re: NOT SOLVED: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL to open internal network site
Two questions: First, are the files that you want to display always PDF's? Second, are they accessible from the server? If yes and yes, than an alternate solution is for you to construct server workflow (using a service) that retrieves the file as an attachment and passes it up to the client where you then present it using a PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-ATTACHMENT. Of course, this solution requires that the Adobe reader is available on the client's machine, but that's not too much of an ask. Just a suggestion... -charlie On Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 9:43 AM, Sinclair, Keith ksincl...@shoppertrak.com wrote: ** Never mind, I stand corrected.

Re: NOT SOLVED: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL to open internal network site
When trying to call cmd.exe you might be running into a security problem in the browser. Modern browsers really don’t like to allow execution of outside programs directly from a link because that’s an easy way to run malware etc. This could be true for calling the file:// prefix as well since that would require opening Windows Explorer. Just a theory and I don’t know that there is actually a way around that particular problem. The WUT does not have this restriction that I am aware of. -Rick From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Sinclair, Keith Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 10:48 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: NOT SOLVED: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL to open internal network site ** /facepalm Yes, you are correct.

Re: NOT SOLVED: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL to open internal network site
That’s what I am beginning to think. Because that’s the only explanation of why all this is fine in the WUT and why I used to be able to do it in earlier browser versions but now can only seem to call things with http:// prefix. Problem is that the WUT is being phased out. Going to have to get creative in thinking up a solution for this one.

Re: NOT SOLVED: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL to open internal network site
To expand on that a bit... I have found when it comes to working with apps and files in the browser it is better to try and use more native web functionality than PC/OS functionality. Are these static documents? Can you put them on a web server? A browser is going to tend to be more accommodating for http(s):// than file://. You will likely find a more consistent experience between different browsers when presenting a file as web content vs. a file from the OS. Another consideration is if when a file is opened from the OS side of things (file://) the first use that opens it will lock it and other users will get a message that another user has it open. We even noticed this with a PDF report that use to be placed on a UNC file share. People with PDF writer software as their default PDF viewer would lock the file when the opened it and the Crystal Distributor couldn't update the report the next time the job ran. We move it to a web server (http://) and now it is alway read only for end users.

Re: NOT SOLVED: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL to open internal network site
The last thing I want to do is muddy the issue, but this rings a faint bell about browser security. It has been awhile and I can't recall the specifics, but maybe it will jog someone else's memory. It was something about trying to open a file on a local path that the browser (by default) viewed as malicious activity and either did nothing, or 404'd as a result. It may not be applicable, but just in case. -JDHood On Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 1:30 PM, Sinclair, Keith ksincl...@shoppertrak.com wrote: ** Using the URL directly in Chrome does work, also in IE.

The last thing I want to do is muddy the issue, but this rings a faint bell
about browser security.
It has been awhile and I can't recall the specifics, but maybe it will jog
someone else's memory. It was something about trying to open a file on a local
path that the browser (by default) viewed as malicious activity and either did
nothing, or 404'd as a result.
It may not be applicable, but just in case.

I agree with Fred, as well.
Looks like the “file://” did the trick. I had forgotten that was an option for
browsers. Now my battle is for the file location folder permissions as I tried
it on a publicly accessible network directory/file and was able to open it, but
not my original document.

Keith,
We would need a bit more information, such as 'What happens' when you
trythere should be no difference between an external and an internal
web/document, as long as you are using the properly formatted url.
Have you run logs, what do they show
Re: NOT SOLVED: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL to open internal network site

Subject: SOLVED: PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL to open internal network site
I agree with Fred, as well.
Looks like the “file://” did the trick. I had forgotten that was an option for
browsers. Now my battle is for the file location folder permissions as I tried
it on a publicly accessible network directory/file and was able to open it, but
not my original document.

I’m not sure if this is the issue, but since your address contains a BLANK,
have you tried quotes around the URL?

Sadly, I tried that one.
Same issue – nothing happens in web browser.

Why not just add the URL to a line of text on a button?

some tinkering.
Stuff below taken from here:

If you have PHP on your web server you can directly display a PDF doing
something like this:
?php
$file = './path/to/the.pdf';
$filename = 'Custom file name for the.pdf'; /* Note: Always use .pdf at the
end. */
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=' . $filename . '');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
@readfile($file);

The last thing I want to do is muddy the issue, but this rings a faint bell
about browser security.
It has been awhile and I can't recall the specifics, but maybe it will jog
someone else's memory. It was something about trying to open a file on a local
path that the browser (by default) viewed as malicious activity and either did
nothing, or 404'd as a result.
It may not be applicable, but just in case.

Using the URL directly in Chrome does work, also in IE. However, trying to call
it from an AL using the Perform…URL, etc. it doesn’t do anything. Driving me
nuts…
Logs still are showing that AL fired:

I just used the following url in chrome
file://server/share/something.log file:///\\server\share\something.log
if you try to specify the url in question, does it open manually? What does
the log show?

Never mind, I stand corrected. This will work in the client tool but I cannot
get it to run in Chrome or IE10 for the life of me. IE10 does nothing. Chrome
opens up a blank window. All browser settings have been reset back to stock and
pop up blockers are completely off.
