How to run .exe (WinZip self-extract) in BO XI?

Is it possible to run WinZip self-extracted file (.exe) in BO XI?

We used them back in BO 6.5.

I ran it as Administrator and got error:

Error Message: Running programs of this type has been disabled by the administrator

Hello Valentin,

I think you can achieve this by changing the security options in the Central Management Console in XIr2.

Connect to the CMC, select "Objects", then click on button "Object Settings", and in the second tab "Program Objects" you can tick the box to allow users to "Run scripts/binaries"

Hope this helps,

Thank you, Romain!

I checked that box, provided credentials for operating system and could schedule that doc "Now".

But It never completed and didn't place extracted file in destination folder.

Any ideas?

Thank you one more time,

Valentin.

Valentin,

There are 2 steps involved in scheduling a program object.

1. Upload the program object to the server i.e. repository (from the CMC) as you did.

2. In the CMC, click on the object you uploaded, switch to the Process tab, click on Parameters, add the location of a working directory in which to execute the script.

Hope this help.

Thank you Srinivas,

there is small progress with your advises:

program didn't failed but continued to run without result (didn't extract zip file).
