How to call VBS-Script on Client with JSF?

Question

Hello! Is it possible to call a VBS-Script, e.g. "test.vbs" on the Client? The idea is to run the script to write data in the SAP-GUI which is also open on the client. Kind Regards, Helmut

Accepted Answer

Here an example for a button to call a VBS-script from IE:

<div>
    <p:commandButton type="button" id="runFile" 
    style="background: lightgrey; margin-bottom: 5x; border: 2px solid"
    onclick="javascript:RunFile()" value="execute vbs-script">
    </p:commandButton>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function RunFile() {
        WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
        WshShell.Run("#{ivy.var.get("de_execute_sap_script")}", 5, false);
     }
</script>

The local path of the vbs-script is set in global variable. E.g.:"C:\Daten\skript_IVY_Test.vbs"

The security for the trusted zone in IE should include the IP and name of ivy-server. And set "initialize and script activex control not marked as safe" to "Prompt" in the security settings for trusted zone.

Generally it seems to be possible to call VBS from JavaScript: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/466059/calling-vbscript-from-javascript-or-vice-versa

So it should be possible to invoke it via the RequestContext framework, which let's you invoke javascript on the client: http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/misc/requestContext.xhtml
