OS4X client-side plugin philosophy

Abstract

With the local processing ability of OS4X Webaccess, you can do the following:

dynamically retrieve locally available environments
list a structured hierarchy of directory with aliases within a selected environment, sourcing them locally in the context of the logged in user in the client machine
list content of the selected directory, offerung filtering and file type selection
export selected (single or multiple) files with a configured program or script
grab the created files, upload it to an outgoing send job, keeping the log output for every file for possibly later processing

From end-user's view, the selection works as follows:

Select environment (last selected environment is saved and pre-selected in future calls)
Search and select DLName
Search and select file(s) for export
Start export process

In case of success, the output file(s) will be added to the send job, in case of error an error message shows the output of the process.

All scripts/programs for every situation can be located on a defined web position (http(s) URL) or available at a local or remote path.

For this functionality, you need:

OS4X Webaccess Webbrowser plugin version 1.4.0 and up
Configured environemnt for local processing
- All commands must be configured for the used environment in the used operating system

Supported operating systems:

Executability of the configured programs/scripts must be given.

Enable the configuration option "Enable local client process execution" in "Configuration" -> "OS4X Enterprise", section "OS4X Webaccess":
