19.27 Custom function to copy the file

Prerequisites

• Products: Liquid UI WS, Liquid UI Server or Local DLL, Client Software
• Commands: del(), pushbutton(), load()
• File: wsoffice.dll

Purpose

We'll demonstrate this using the SAP Easy Access screen and guide you through the following steps:

1. Delete the image container on the SAP Easy Access screen
2. Add a toolbar push button to initiate the copying process
3. Add a function to copy the contents of one file to another

User Interface

//Create this file inside your script folder for customizing the SAP Easy Access screen, SAPLSMTR_NAVIGATION.E0100.sjs

//Now, let's add the Liquid UI script to the above file and save it.

Customization

1. Delete the image container on the SAP Easy Access screen using del().
    

   //Deletes the Image container on the screen
   del("X[IMAGE_CONTAINER]");

    
   
    
2. Add a toolbar push button labeled Copy File which executes a process called CopyFile, when clicked.
    

   // Creates a push button labeled Copy File that executes CopyFile process on click.
   pushbutton([TOOLBAR], "Copy File",{"process":CopyFile});
   

    
   
    
3. Add a function to copy the contents of one file to another file. In the below function, we have created a new ActiveXObject named 'objCopy'. This object allows us to make calls to the file system through the wsoffice.dll. Using the methods of this new object, we can locate the desired file and copy its content to a new text file when the function is called using a push button.
    

   // Function to rename a file using ActiveXObject in SAP
   function CopyFile(){
   // Loads wsoffice.dll file
     load("wsoffice.dll");
     var objCopy, test;
   // Creates new objCopy ActiveXObject 
   objCopy = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   //Copy the contents of the Book1 text file to Book2 text file 
   test = objCopy.CopyFile("C:\\LiquidUI\\Book1.txt","C:\\LiquidUI\\Book2.txt",true);
   }
   

    
   

   Note: You need to place the wsoffice.dll file in your scripts folder.
    

SAP Process

1. Refresh the SAP Easy Access screen and click the Copy File toolbar push button to initiate the function. You will see the content of the Book1.txt file is copied to the Book2.txt file, as shown below.
