External Tool Call from Hopex Web Front

[Mounika]

By mentioning IsAnywhere = 1, I am able to see the Meta Command in Web.

But Now , Have one more issue .

The Application which i want to call from Web is Windows Application developed in vb.net .

So , when I click the Meta Command it is unable to  display the window forms which i created .

But , its working fine in Windows front end .

What should be done inorder to run the external tool from Web Front End  , And  i Should be able to see the Windows Forms .

I don't know what you form does but I think you have to rethink your approach.

My recommandation is :

• conceive a web form that can be deploy on an IIS web server that can work as a website.
• call this website using an HTML formatter. There are some exemple in the standard you can find
• Call you HTML formatter from the metacommand

If your web form need to interact with HOPEX you should build a REST API using the Web service Factory.

As Per your Explanation I understood that we cant trigger the Vb.net Interface from Web .

But , In case is there any option to trigger an External tool from Web with any other domain ?

Or We can't trigger any External tool from Web ?

If I understand it right you have developped a user interface with the VB.Net ?

If this is the case, you won't be able to display this interface in the web regardless if the menu command appears or not.
