Hi All, Any idea if we can execute a Dynamic-link library (or DLL)  file fr

forum.appian.com/.../summary will this help !!!

@harshav
We have already checked this and this doesn't suit for the requirement... it's not oly the printer we expect to Integrate with other devices as well ...

I m curious to know how can we execute a dll file from appian ????

AFAIK this is not possible without major modifications to the base product. Do these devices still have no network interface?

@stefan
Yes they do have network interface..

If so can you elaborate what needs to be done ???

Can u please also give some heads on what needs to be done on base product ????

Then the devices should be accessible from the Appian server. Depending in the actual interfaces they support you can use OOTB functions or have to create plugins to communicate with them.

Modification of the base product is not recommended or supported in any way.

@stefan

If the devices don't have a network interface what would be the option then ????

AFAIK there are adapters available that translate interfaces like serial port or USB to ethernet. So depending on what you want to do it should be possible to connect almost any device to Appian.

What about a wrapper? Could you build a Web Service (in C#, for example) that can be invoked from Appian and that internally uses the DDL?

I meant DLL, of course

@carloss, Yes that can be on workaround to achieve the requirement. Is there anything inside OOTB we have any functionality ? or other-way workaround ?
