File Adapter - NFS - Windows NT

[jose_augastine3]

I am trying to drop file into another server.

Both PI and Target Server are in Windows environment.

From PI Server, I am able to reach target folder from Windows Explorer (
<Target IP>\<folder> )

But when I give the same path in File adapter its shwoing error "Target directory '
<Target IP>\<folder>' does not exist and cannot be created

If I give path as ''C:\folder' , its creating in C drive of PI Server

I mapped the network drive (
<Target IP>\<folder> ) into Z drive and gave the path as "Z:\folder', I am getting the same error does not exist and cannot be created

So how do we give path in file adapter (NFS) for a different target server ?

Any other config required in making target folder as shared ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

i think you need to configure your directory path in Tn. AL11. then try to access. it will work.

Hi,

I mapped the network drive ( <Target IP>\<folder> ) into Z drive and gave the path as "Z:\folder', I am getting the same error does not exist and cannot be created.

If you already mapped <IP>\<folder> as the virtual Z drive, then just use Z:\ in your communication channel.

In case this does not work either, you can also use the FTP transfer protocol to access an external server from PI. The name is somehow misleading, because the target server does not have to be an FTP server, it can be any resource, and FTP is just a transmission protocol there.

Hope this helps,

Even I tried Z:\ in communication channel. Same error.

FTP option is also not working.

Hi

Try to login FTP from command prompt from PI server and put some demo files then use same credential in CC check for write access for same also.

Thanks

I am able to drop/pick files to Hard Disk Drive and not able to do to Network Drive.

Is it works in that way or am I missing something ?

Hi,

If the file is in PI server then only it picks the file, if the folder is in another directory which is not in PI server then it doesn't pick. For this either we can use FTP or that folder should be sharable to PI server.

From PI Server, I am able to pick and drop files.

How that folder in another server can be sharable with PI Server ?
