It is sometimes useful to be able to access external programs, such as .exe files, from the Sage ERP X3 menu. Below are instructions for adding a menu item to Sage X3 that references a .Net .exe.

COPY THE .EXE FILE TO THE SAGE X3 DIRECTORY

The example used here uses the Callui function in the Sage X3 code to call OpenFile, and references the .exe program using the parameter UILocalDir. The program being executed must reside in a pre-defined list of directories available to this function.
Depending on the parameter used for UILocalDir, the .exe should be copied to one of the 3 directories below.
  • Temp
  • Report
  • RtsTemp
Below is an excerpt from the X3 Help, which defines where each of these directories resides within the Sage ERP X3 client installation.

In this example, the Temp directory is used. Below is a snapshot of the directory where the .exe was copied.

NOTE: The .exe must reside in the X3 client installation directory, so if a local client is used, the .exe must be copied to each workstation accessing the .exe.

CREATE THE PROCESS

Go to the Process editor (Development > Processes > Processes > Process editor), and create a process to call the external program.
Copy the code below to the process editor. The .exe file name will need to be modified to match the name of the .exe being called. Compile the code.
