To enable NFS connectivity

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have an interface which is planned to use File Adapter (NFS), here we are suppose to read/write the files into windows share drive mapped on SAP PO ( Installed on Windows).

From windows share drive the folders are shared with account - <domain>\SAPService<SID>

From SAP PO the folder and files are visible to user - <domain>\SAPService<SID> in the server. But the file adapter(NFS) is not able to read the directory.

Error from the sender communication channel - > Configured source directory 'Y:/XXXX/XXXX' does not exist

Any hints with the trouble shooting?

Regards

Sunil.

Did you try with backward slash ?(ideally we should configure forward slash but you can give a try)

Y:\XXXX\XXXX

You should also be able to process files by configuring \\<<Server Name>>\<<FilePath>>

Thanks for your time.

Tried the '/' and '\'.

Tried the \\server\path\xxx\xxx

In my case the account is in Domain so its have the same credentials across all the applications. May be missing something else not sure though.

Check the answer of Rajesh:

File Adapter in PI not reading file from file s... | SCN

Please check whether path mentioned in communication channel has access to <SID>adm or SAPService<SAID> user.

As you said it's development environment so you can give below permission and test

Windows : Set read/write (As per requirement) permission for everyone.

Unix : provide permission 755 to specified path.

Regards,

Nabendu.

Update -

The connectivity worked well using the NFS protocol.

Tried the connection with IP in place of host name, for some reason the IP was not getting resolved from channel configuration to runtime. Drive map/mount was not required in my case.

As listed in other thread with similar type of issues, the important item is to have the user account with the same name and password in the shared server.

Thanks for your time and response.
