image saving and publishing

[former_member210324]

Hello,

with version 11.5 it was fairly easy to generate images and publish them to the web browser.

Either by putting the encoded image on the outputparameter of a transaction/xacutequery or by saving them in the wwwroot.

With version 12 there is no access from the netweaver to the file system, however I can't use the first option because the content type is wrong and the second I couldn't access the file on the server.

Any ideas.

The file system would not be cluster safe, so instead of using an ImageSaver to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Project\Folder\Name.png" do this instead: "web://Project/Folder/Name.png"

Jeremy - can the web:// syntax be used by the FTP action blocks which expect a file path?

It's the same file handler class...so yes.

Christopher:

In version 12.0, there is (supposedly) a "virtual file system" that can be used. I have not used it, but as I recall, it was built into version 12.

Also, it might be best to use the FTP action(s) to publish the images to the file server. That is a more robust and portable approach than copying files to the file system.

Best regards,

Rick
