Hi,

I have a QAction associated with a button in my protocol that generates a file for download. The QAction logs show the following:

<code>ManagedInterop|INF|-1|7|Checking debug package status... Attempt 2  
ManagedInterop|INF|-1|7|Checking debug package status... Attempt 3  
ManagedInterop|INF|-1|7|Checking debug package status... Attempt 4  
ManagedInterop|INF|-1|7|Checking debug package status... Attempt 5  
ManagedInterop|INF|-1|7|Checking debug package status... Attempt 6  
ManagedInterop|INF|-1|7|Debug package is ready: /debugpackage/debugpackage_2025-05-29T03:31:57.509362Z.zip  
ManagedInterop|INF|-1|7|Debug package URL: http://172.28.20.201/debugpackage/debugpackage_2025-05-29T03:31:57.509362Z.zip
</code>

How can I allow users to download the file directly from Cube after it's generated?

Is it possible for my QAction to open a web browser automatically with the generated URL (e.g., http://172.28.20.201/debugpackage/debugpackage_2025-05-29T03:31:57.509362Z.zip)?

Thanks!

Hi Jose,

I am not aware of a way for the QAction to trigger a download start on a connected user.

Element logic and QAction code are executed on the server and not on the client side but a couple of options could be to

  1. Configure the QAction to store the generated file on the C:\Skyline DataMiner\Documents\... folder which any user with the correct permissions can access via the Documents module of DataMiner.
  2. Create an interactive automation script that utilizes the DownloadButton UIBlockType | DataMiner Docs, which should achieve your goal albeit with some added complexity.

Hope one of my suggestions could be of help
