Hello Advanced MapForce Experts,

I need help on this topic and will like to know if these functionalities are possible in MapForce:
1. the ability to make MapForce create folders during runtime
2. the ability to delete files during runtime.
3. making MapForce run DOS commands

These I know one of you experts might have accomplished.


Thank you for the help.

Eric

Hi,

I would suggest looking at Flowforce Server which can be used to automate mapping jobs designed in Mapforce. (You will also require Mapforce Server)

I don't know if you export your maps to java etc or run through the server product.
if you export to java for example, you can also create some java plugins, it's pretty simple.
in these plugins you can have pass the folder names etc you want to create or delete and use java code to do it.

Thank you pfisher44 and island for your respond. The mappings are exported to java and run without the MapForce Server. I will look at both options to see which of them will help in this regard.
