PS 2020 had a function to get the cache directory:

AppeonExtFuncs
strRet = funs.of_GetCacheDir()

 

Does PS 2022 use a similar structure, and if so where/how to get it?

Or can i simply use the window temp directory?

Run App without Cloud App Laucher? Just to clarify

Hi Mike;

  PowerClient and PowerServer based App EXE's are downloaded and executed by the CloudAppLauncher. Since they are "native" PB Apps basically, the GetCurrentDirectory() command on App Start-up would be where the App's resources are being cached (if I understand your question properly).  HTH

i am looking for that, but i'm also looking for a temp directory to store temporary files.



I assume since it is just a windows app, i have read/write access to the temp windows directory? Or does/could windows lock it down because it is an 'internet' app?

Hi Mike;

  In my STD Framework, I give the PB App two choices for temporary data, as follows:

Is this what you are looking for in your PB/PC/PS apps?

for C/S I get the windows temporary directory. i also try several since it seems MSFT changes the environment variable every once in a while.



lcx_key.GetContextKeywords ('TMP', ls_values[])

lcx_key.GetContextKeywords ('TEMP', ls_values[])

lcx_key.GetContextKeywords ('USERPROFILE', ls_values[])

lcx_key.GetContextKeywords ('WINDIR', ls_values[])



I just wondered if i can be assured the PS app will have full access to this just like the C/S.
