2024.2, ISandBox and System.IO

[gabesanerd (Gabriel Franco)]

Now that we have ISandbox: Accessing Resources Using the Sandbox Property – Kinetic 2024.2

Does anyone know what the timeline is on losing access to System.IO in Custom Code? We utilize this in several BPMs for bartender integration, to write .bt files to the filesystem, accessible by Azure File Share.

Is there a "better way"™ to get bartender data from SaaS to on-prem bartender?

We used to use System.io for our label printing - however we are moving to a web api solution described in the following post.

Replacement For system.IO

Went into VS - built a wep api project - deployed to the test server - changed the function (http.client) - it works I feel like I’ve had a glimpse into near past - Apis make so much sense - but I guess that’s why the likes of Epicor (sap, oracle et al) have been doing it for years.

Hmm, as we are self-hosted on-prem bartender, I’d need to open a hole on the firewall to allow this to function, correct, as SaaS would be initiating a connection inbound to BT Server?
Our cybersecurity policies would probably make that a pain…

Azure Relay (Hybrid Connections) Basic Example

Hello all, I promised a simple example a few weeks ago, so here it is. I was going to wait until my “Klient” software was released, but I’ve just been too busy so I decided to go ahead and push this out. This is an example of setting up an Azure Relay Hybrid Connection This can be used to communicate from Epicor in the cloud, to your on premises resources without opening up holes in your firewall. You set up Azure Relay as an intermediary with Microsoft, and you have an on premises “listener”…

I’d say I have you covered, but I haven’t had time to sit down and write the Bartender specific example I had planned. I also haven’t had time to finish my little tool either. The post I linked however should let any competent developer do it for you though.

A beautiful post as usual Kevin!

Let’s hope that when this floats to the top of my to-do, that competent developer is looking at me in the mirror! Thanks!
