I’m using webMethods 10 on Windows 10. I’m trying to write to a file in my flow service (using pub.file.stringToFile. I have set the fileName service in parameter to “C:\testfiles\output1.txt” and even set the contents of my ./IntegrationServer/packages/WmPublic/config/fileAccessControl.cnf to the following

allowedWritePaths=C:/testfiles/*
allowedReadPaths=
allowedDeletePaths=

I have tried variations of the above, but even after restarting my server multiple times, I get this error upon running the service …

com.wm.app.b2b.server.ServiceException: [ISS.0086.9263] Specified path [C:\testfiles\output1.txt] is not on the [allowedWritePaths] allowed list in the fileAccessControl configuration file

What else do I need to do to write to this file?

Hi,

please have a look at the IS Built-In-Services Reference guide for folder pub.file for further informations about configuring fileAccessControl.cnf.

Did you try “C:/testfiles” as entry to allow access to the files in testfiles directory?
Remember to reload the WmPublic package when making changes to fileAccessControl.cnf.

Regards,
Holger

I changed my path to what you suggested “C:/testfiles” and then shut down my IDE and restarted it and now a file is generated in that location. Before I had been restarted my server in the IDE but not actualy restarting the IDE (not quite sure how to reload a package as you suggested but I’ll look more into that).

Thanks!

Hi Tony,

reloading a package can be done via IS Admin UI under Packages → Management, then click on the reload icon in the row for the package which requires a reload.

In Designer a package can be reloaded by right-clicking on the package and select "Reload Package" from the Context-Menu.

Please note that whenever a package is reloaded all other packages which have a dependency on this one are also reloaded.

Regards,
Holger
