File Selection via Automation Script

Solved203 views13th March 2025Automation DIS automation scripts interactive automation script

Hi,

I am looking for a way to open a file dialog on the DMA server via automation.

The idea is that there is an XML file containing configuration information on the DataMiner Server. I would like to open a file dialog in DataMiner through an automation script, where I can select this file. Then, the automation script will proceed with deserializing the XML content and configuring the system accordingly.

Is there a way to open a file dialog to browse and select a file from a specific directory (e.g., the C drive) in DataMiner? Can you point me to any relevant documentation or similar questions?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Hi David,

This is possible by using the File Selector widget in an interactive automation script.
