Hi

I've had this script that I run to let the user assign a name to the device. This worked on an older version of Mobicontrol but on the latest version I'm getting an error where the script fails to write to a file.

#!/usr/bin/env js

var file = new mobicontrol.io.File('/sdcard/SOTI/attr_devicename.ini');
mobicontrol.message.createTextPromptDialog('Device name?')
.withQuestionIcon()
.withCallback(onConfirm).show();

function onConfirm(result) {
if (result.inputText != null) {
mobicontrol.log.info(result.inputText + ' is the name of the device');
file.writeText('[DeviceInfo]' + '\n' + 'DeviceName = ' + result.inputText);
mobicontrol.agent.checkIn();
}
}

I've resolved the issue, by creating a package with the file already inside and attaching a post install script.
It seems the script is then able to access the file to overwrite when needed.

Device: Zebra VC8300 Android 11

Agent: 15.3.3.1069

Mobicontrol: 15.6

What are the version and build numbers of your MobiControl device agent?

What about the Android firmware major & minor versions on the device?

What apps permissions have you granted to the device agent?

Have you tried using the same function to write to other directories (e.g. the usual  public directory such as "Downloads" or "DCIM" )?  If so, what are the test results?

Hi Codipack,

Thank you for posting on SOTI Pulse! 

Are you able to provide the previous MobiControl version and device agent version? It would also help if you could provide some more information on what devices you are working with. If you can also provide the device model, make and the OS, that would be great.

Please also provide what versions you have currently.

Kind regards,
