GOAL:
How to start a WebClient application with an application specific parameter?
GOAL:
How to launch WebClient application from another program passing some specific values?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
It is not possible to directly specify additional parameters to the WebClient initializer (prowcini.exe) executable.
However, there are several ways to pass certain values to the application without involving the
WebClient initializer:
1) In order to use some application specific parameters before launching the WebClient application,
you can set one or more environment variables that can be read by the application (e.g using OS-GETENV).
or,
2) Second option is to specify file name in the -param WebClient startup parameter, that application can use
to retrieve data stored in that file. This way another application can write to that file before launching the
the WebClient application.
