Hi

Any idea how can I use UNC path in input cards?

If I do it like this

GET
->Source:File
->FilePath:\\SRRK005\selvis\Fixing.dat

and try run map, I only get message "Source not available".

But when I change path like this (first of course I mapped network drive F:)

GET
->Source:File
->FilePath:F:\Fixing.dat

it works fine.

Is this a windows server?
I think the requirements are for the remote server to be in the same domain and have the same user set up on it as the user the event server is running under.

The format you specify worked for me previously. The connection was to a LINUX area on a mainframe but the principle is the same. The advice on the logins is good. You should also double check the server name and make sure you can ping by server name. If its a unix server it is case sensitive.

Platform is Windows 2000. I tested UNC paths with computers in same domain like janhess told and then it works fine.

But in this case servers are in different domains so I think I cannot use UNC path. Propably only way is map network drive to server and use drive letter.

Anyway, thanks for you help.

Hi,

what you can try as well is to use either the IP-Address of the other system instead of the host name or the complete DNS-Name of the other system. Probably the host name is not known in WINS. The use of the IP-Address should work always as long as the IP-Address is fixed for the other system.

I've tried use ip-address on filepath or server name but nothing works. It works fine in my local computer but as soon as I move it to the event server it fails.

Something wrong but what? Who knows...

When you run it on the server, by default the user that the service runs under is LocalSystem, which most of the time is the local admininstrator. If you go into the properties of the service, you can change which account it is running as.
I have found this to be usually the reason with permission issues.

Had a similar issue and making sure my Services level 'Log On ID' had the proper authority did help.

Did find though, that for one server, I needed to play with the path a bit before it worked.

Have also used the mapped drive method. But, during server upgrade the network folk forgot to remap the drive... created a bit of confusion until I figured it out.
