Run exe file on client side

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to run an exe file on client side in WDA ?

Thanks.

Yes, actually there is. As of NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1, there is a UI element called ACFExecute. It lets you do exactly what you describe - execute applications on the client machine. You can read more about it here:

Hi Thomas,

Is there a requirement like downloading an xml or a policy file to the client PC ?

If I want to execute an exe , what should i write in the white list using WDR_ACF_WLIST ?

Thanks a lot!

Yes there is a policy whitelist where you must maintain the list of approved applications. Use the IMG configuration transaction listed in the online help to maintain the whitelist and download it to a PC. You then probably want to use some desktop configuration software to push the whitelist to all PCs. In 7.02, the whitelist can be configured to download automatically on first usage.
