LocalExe is used to execute a program on the local computer. This is useful in cases where access to scanned reports or other content is through a document management system. If that system provides a utility that can be used to connect to the repository and display a file, LocalExe is the tool to call it with.
This type of request contains the name of an .exe (program) and any parameters required by the document management utility. For example, a request might look like this:
Such a file is requesting that cmLocalViewer run a program called "ShowReport.exe" and pass it the parameters "CaseId=123 noprompt". If ShowReport.exe exists, it will be called, and will (presumably) display the crash "123" without prompt to the user. Important: note that the program does not contain a path, just the filename. This is for security purposes and is described in the security section that follows. |
