PI anable to write files to network shared folder

[Jitendra_Jeswan]

Hi All,

We have ascenario IDoc to File

At receiver side we have configured receiver file adater with NFS protocol and our target directory is on server B. So we mapped "
B\TargetDirectory" to Z: in our PI server.

PI server & server B both are on Wondows OS.

We could see that the user which is used by PI to write files on local drive is SAPService<systemID>, so we created the same user on server B and allowed this user access to Z: drive on PI server.

But when trying to write files to this drive Z:, we are getting follwoing error

Target directory.......does not exist.

We tried giving target Directory path as below; but it does,'t work. Any ideas?

1) Z:

2)
B\TargetDirectory

Jeet,

Target directory.......does not exist. >>>>>>> It is not able to locate directory
on the mentioned path.

Try access the shared location using Run or Windows explorer option. I meant

1. Start --> Run --> type the shared location

2. Open windows explorer and type in the shared location

See whether you are able to access for both the options.

Try using / forward slash and check it!

Hi Ramesh,

Problem solved. It was not because of the way we used slashes but due to the following procedure.

When we configured user SAPService<SID> on server B, the pasword MUST be same as configured in PI server for user SAPService<SID>. We earlier did not have the password this way setup.

When we changed it, it worked!!
