How to load external DLLs in coresuite

Paolo Manfrin

Hi All, one question that raised up often was "How can I load external dlls in coresuite so that I can use it with customize, designer, etc...).



This is possible considering what you want to achieve:



1.The dll should be loaded only in some clients

2. The dll should be loaded in all the clients



Here a description how to achieve the results in both cases:



---------------------

1. LOAD DLLs ON A SPECIFIC CLIENT



In this case you should place the DLL under "...\AddOns\COR\coresuite\COR_Customize\DLL"

where the root "...\AddOns" is the default directory for SAP AddOns.



---------------------



2. LOAD DLLs IN ALL THE CLIENT



In this case the best is to create a .sip package that you can import and distribute via the coresuite administration menu.



1. Create a folder called COR_Customize

2. Create a folder called DLL inside COR_Customize

3. Add your DLLs into the DLL folder

4. Zip the main folder "COR_Customize" like "COR_Customize.zip"

5. Rename your tip package (e.g. MyDLL.zip)

6. Change the package extension from .zip to .sip (e.g. MyDLL.sip)

7. Your package is ready to be imported using coresuite administration



NB: The folders name is CASE SENSITIVE!!! Please respect lower and upper case.



This second procedure is also visually described into the [url="http://www.coresystems.ch/wp-content/uploads/files_downloads/help/country_package/manual/countryPackage_en.pdf"]coresuite manual[/url] at section "Install external DLLs".
