File Adapter sending from Linux to Windows

[david_pauley2]

Hi Experts,

I have a simple scenario, IDoc to File. Our PI server is running on Unix and I need to drop the file to a Windows server. I tried several things but it is not working. Transport Protocol = File System (NFS), Message Protocol = File.

I have tried Target Directory = //<servername>/directory1/directory2 but this doesn't work

I have tried Target Directory =
<servername>\directory1\directory2 doesn't work either.

The path is valid, I tested that. What am I missing?

Thanks,

David

Hi Pauley,

What are you seeing at Sender communication channel monitoring? Is the file being picked or do u see any error? Usually insufficient permissions will the main cause for this type of issues.

This is IDoc to file, so the sender is the IDoc adapter and that works fine. The problem is the File Receiver Adapter, directory is not found.

Hi Pauley,

I thought you are moving from unix to windows. Now I got it.

Make sure that the folder is shared and have necessary permissions. Please see few suggestions here:

Why You don't try a FTP connection in your Windows Server, it's soo simple to do and simple to made a pi file interface useing a ftp protocol

Already tried and found out that FTP is not available on this server.
