Cannot Launch the Target Application Error Message

asked on May 2, 2016

I'm using LF Connector to partially fill out a Travel & Business Expense LF Form using the Write Data to an Application action to fill out Employee information by gathering field values from MS CRM Dynamics (Online). After specifying the the LF Form as the target application to write data to and providing the controls that data will be written into, when testing the profile before publishing, I get an error "Cannot launch the target application with path . . . after this error message, it does launch the form. However, it does not fill out any of the defined fields.

Attached are the screen shots for each step. Has anyone been able to successfully Write Data to a LF Form by getting data from CRM Dynamics using the Write Data action?

Hi John,

The issue is in your parameters for launching the application on page 4. The actual command line for a web site isn't the site itself, it's the command line for your browser. The website is the command arguments. That's why Connector is giving this error (it's looking for an application called the website name, that's not open, it goes to open it, it doesn't exist, error).

That said, if your goal is to write to a Laserfiche Form, you don't actually even need to use the write action in Connector. You can simply read the data from CRM Dynamics and then pass that all as the initial URL to Forms. When the form loads, it will automatically populate in the data you obtained from Dynamics. Check out https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/Laserfiche/10/en-US/administration/#../Subsystems/Connector/Content/Using-Laserfiche-Connector-to-Fill-out-a-Laserfiche-Form.htm%3FTocPath%3DConnector%7C_____7 for more information on this process. You can certainly use write data, but going through the URL is generally going to provide a better user experience. Also, you don't need to worry about hardcoding a specific browser exe in the 'launch application' box (the error you are encountering now), since it'll use the built-in 'open website' action.

Justin,

Thank you for your response. The Launch Website action was a much better user experience. Thank you!

Another great feature of Laserfiche Connector is the ability to customize the Profile location. This will allow all of our users to access the relevant profiles. However, our Laserfiche server and forms are installed in a datacenter (Rackspace) and since Connector is fully client side it appears that under the LF Connector Options, it's looking for a local network file path.

Do you have any recommendation on the most effective way for all users to have access to the same profile location when a server is not on-premise?

As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated!
