File Receiver - which system user

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have scenarios which are delivering files to some network directory. Problem is that XI/PI is not very happy with it, it can deliver files only to local FS or to FTP. So I thought to solve this either with local folder or with mapping network share as X: drive on XI/PI. This second option is not working, I presume because of user, so question is with which system user is XI writing files to some dir, or is there maybe possibility to specify user on com.chanel somewhere?

thx

user SAPService<SID> is used to read/write files

From note 821267-File adapter FAQ

Q: Using a File Adapter channel I would like to retrieve files from
and/or write files to a Windows (SMB) share. Which considerations
do I need to take into account?
A: When the Adapter Engine hosting the File Adapter service is
running under Microsoft Windows, make sure that the share is
accessible for the user "SAPService<SID>" under which the File
Adapter is operating. If the share is mapped to a drive letter,
make sure that this mapping exists for the "SAPService<SID>" user.
UNC paths are typically supported under Microsoft Windows. When the
Adapter Engine hosting the File Adapter service is running under
UNIX, make sure that the SMB share is mounted into the local file
system hierarchy and accessible to the "<sid>adm" user. Note that
UNC paths are typically not supported under UNIX. For details,
contact your operating system vendor.
