WriteFile Action, send files to network location

[Former Member]

SAP MII 14.0.3 Build 33

I have a particular need to transmit files I create from MII to a network folder location.  I understand that in order to do this I must first remove the "MII" from the default file path in the system properties and grant rights to the SAPService[SID] user to the folder.  I have done this and I have been able to write files to folders that are local to the MII server (C:\, D:\ ...), but once I try mapping to a network location and attempting to write files to it or simply using the network folder location, I get errors.  Has anyone encountered this issue and how can I solve it?

Path to folder location gives me this error:

[ERROR] [Write_File_0]WriteFile error: [Folder Location] (The user name or password is incorrect)

Gregory,

I've faced this issue before, and this requirement was resolved by using the FTP Action Blocks. Have you tried this other approach?

That was my original approach, but the client would prefer not to use the FTP action block.  I guess I may need to recommend this route afterall.

Hi Greg,

The way I have had to solve this for other customers is to set the Folder Permissions and Share Permissions to Everyone - Full Control for direct access from MII.  Another option may be  to use the PCo FileMonitorAgent and agent instance and write the file with a TagQuery, setting TagName=fully qualified path/file name, and TagValue=the text of the file.  PCo Agent can specify authentication user to be used to access Remote Shares.  I have not tried this so I am not positive that it will work.

Hi Gregory,

MII uses the SYSTEM user as the account.  Grant this user the access to the folder.

Also have a look at this thread:

The folder already has granted the SYSTEM user.

This is the route that I have been trying to take recently.  No luck so far.

This route is not working because you cannot assign a local user (SAPService[SID]) to a group for a network folder.  What is the work around?
