AL11 adding a hidden share

[ChrisGela]

Hi,

I'm having problems trying to add a hidden share in AL11 (i.e. a share ending in a dollar e.g. \\name\dir$)

From the OS side the share is accessible without issues using the SIDADM user.

but from AL11, I get the "wrong order of calls" error

Anyone else had similar issues before? Workaround?(Don't really want to map it to a drive)

Kind Regards,

chris

Hi Chris

Could you refer the SAP Note for error messgae " wrong order of calls"

117395 - Authorization problems for file I/O on Microsoft Windows

Hi All,

Thanks for your suggestions.

Sriram was correct with his post, the issue was authorization related. After providing the SAPServiceSID user with access to the share, AL11 was resolved.

thanks again!

Hello Chris,

probably there is a problem with "$" in the directory name, AL11 can understand only UTF-8 (Unix) or UTF-16 (Windows) format. You could debug the program RSWATCH0 to find out, what is the problem.

Ensure also, that all available corrections for AL11 are implemented in the system.
