    I'm working on an display exec htm to display PO infor, similar to the example recsum.htm provided by Infor.  I'm sure I can work through it, but I like to start with a small success, like displaying a field or two from the PO header, then gradually add more.

    The problem is that we are an Infor managed services customer.  If I want to test my display exec htm file, I need to create s service request for them to run the perl script to update the EAR file, and restart Websphere.  Their normal turn around is at least a day for non-critical requests, usually longer, so if I even make a typo, I have to wait that long before I can retest.

    Is there a way to test the display exec html without going through the full redeploy process?  I'm not ready for a long grey beard.

     

    Thanks,

      If you know where the file is written to (6 level deep Webserver file path) and have access, you can just overwrite the existing file and skip the redeploy process. The system takes a few minutes to refresh, but that works.

        David - how do you find out where that file is located?

          It will be something like WebSphere/Approver/profiles/AppSrv01/installedApps/servername/BPM.ear/bpm.war/htmlinbasket/inbasket/execs

            Thanks David!

            I located the folder, and via some fairly elaborate machinations, was able to get my new htm file copied there, and the new file was recognized right away.

            This is going to save a huge amount of time.
