Calling Third Party Application with Element

Post by matt.baile »

I have a workflow that needs to calla custom application located on our network and pass to it the file name as a parameter. As in "ConsoleApp_eProof.exe 288988_Thoren.pdf”. where 288988_Thoren.pdf is the file name of an incoming file.

Application: \\primus\bluelines\eProofs_s3App
Parameter "ConsoleApp_eProof.exe filename"

Would I set this up with the Generic application element or Execute command?

I would try with the "Execute command". See below.

In my case the command fails. Perhaps because I do not have the program. Or the program is not allowed to be on UNC-path.
Otherwise try to map the path to a drive-letter if possible.

There is also the free app "Run command".
Which should be able to do some of the same things.
