Seems I was using it wrong. The Commands to Execute tool seems more inline with what I'm looking for. Thank you.

Hi, I'm trying to open a .bat file at the time a patch is installed. I believed the special processing section of the deployment tool would do this, but after trying it with a type of "standard" it doesn't appear to execute at the time of the patch. How can I execute this .bat at the time the patch ...

So, I found a way to do this in V13. While there is no way to grab it directly as with #XPRIM_OSUTIL in V14, what you can do is get it using the following code in V13:


Use Builtin(GET_REGISTRY_VALUE) With_Args(HKEY_CURRENT_USER 'Volatile Environment\' 'LOCALAPPDATA') To_Get(#UserPath #RegErr)
Use ...

Unfortunately we are running V13.2 in this environment. This is a great solution if we run into it in our V14SP2 environment, so thank you.

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to retrieve the username or home directory of the current user logged in to Windows. For those familiar with Python or it would produce a similar result to the below code sample:


#To get a username
>>> import getpass
>>> username = getpass.getuser()
>>> print(username ...

That worked. The message no longer appears and the file gets written. Thank you.

The error occurs on application exit. I can use business objects and use the application as I normally would. It seems like it's trying to save the session values in the Virtual_Clipboard_User file when exiting the application, but then encounters the error on exit.

Thanks for the reply. I Tried that and I don't get the fatal error message, but I do get this instead:

Looks like the same message as before, but it doesn't flag it as fatal. Also, it writes the files to 'C:\Temp' but nothing gets written to the user virtual clipboard file ...

Here is the source we are using from UF_EXEC:

This is version 13.2. We are trying to change the location that Virtual Clipboard files are stored, but encounter an error when executing the command. Code is below:

* uVCPath defaults to the *TEMP_DIR system value. uVCFilePrefix defaults to a blank/empty string.
* When uVCFilePrefix is blank/null ...

We are trying to set the temp path to be %localappdata%\appTempPath. We succeeded in doing this by setting the X_RUN arguments in the deployment tool to be TPTH=%localappdata%\appTempPath. We would like to do this programmatically though. I've tried setting TPTH to the desired path in ...
