Is it possible to use an external dll in an epicor function on 10.2.600?
Yes. After adding dll to your folder (based on config), you may need to recycle appserver and you definitely need to reopen client.

Good to hear! Can you clue me in? I’m not seeing it in the designer or on any tabs.
I may have just lied to you. I just did it recently, but I wasnt in a Func, but a UBAQ. Let me see what I can find on Funcs.
I just don’t see a section for “Externals” anywhere, only “Assemblies”. I’m able to see the external dll in a ubaq directive, just not sure where find it for a function.
Sounds good, thanks. I’ve clicked through all menu items I can find haha
I see that simply dropping a DLL into Assemblies it will show up but I cant speak to functionality. It’s not ideal as that folder get’s purged during updates.
I tried dropping one into the Externals folder and I havent seen it show yet, but I cant recycle\restart to verify
Thanks for checking, I guess they haven’t added that functionality. Back to the UBAQ.
Externals are not officially available in functions however dropping them in the assemblies folder does work and is a small price to pay to be able to use functions as desired

Ok, I’ll bite. Back to functions. So I will just need to remember to add the dll again after future updates?
Correct, which for us is required anyways because we blow away the appserver before patches (been bit before by not doing that). Point releases should leave your externals alone either way.
