GuardPoint 10 Global Reflex  
Run an External Application using Dynamic Text

Dynamic text placeholders were not pulling through the actual value when using 'run an external application' Global Reflex action. 
The fix is now within the attached patch (see below: ACS.Common.GlobalReflex.dll ).

Installation:

1. Backup main and journal DB

2. Backup AcsServer located on C:\Program Files (x86)\GuardPoint10\AcsServer

3. Stop ACS Server service via watchdog.

4. Copy patch file to ACS Server installation folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\GuardPoint10\AcsServer

5. Start ACS Server service via watchdog.

Create a Global Reflex -> Dynamic Text

IF = Access Granted (Any CardHolder)

THEN = Run an external application

In the arguments field, add your dynamic test e.g %ch% for Card Holders Name

Configure it to run a batch file that writes arguments to a txt file 
eg: 
Application: cmd.exe  |  Arguments: cmd /c echo %ch% >> C:\Temp\test.text

Swipe your card (Access Granted Event)

Check C:\Temp\test.text it should now contain a file containing your Card Holders name:

To add additional details you can use the following dynamic codes:

Alternatively if you prefer you can write your script within a bat file and pass the dynamic code into the value field of the external application:

For Python

Check Python is installed (type python in the command line)

Import pyGuardPoint via pip :

python -m pip install pyGuardPoint

OR

pip install pyGuardPoint

Create your script and save as a py file:

( input() just pauses the console )

In GP10, Global Reflex -> Run an External application - you need to point to the python execution file first, before your script:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Python\bin\python.exe C:\Temp\script.py -w

Add your value in the second line, as shown below:
