SAP Sourcing: FTP Configuration using URL Driver

[Former Member]

Hi Team,

We need to transfer file from SAP Sourcing installed on UNIX Operating System to a Windows Share Directory (\\XX.YY.ZZ.AAA\UserGuides\Report). File will be a report generated using query in Sourcing hence we plan to use Report Execution Scheduled Task, is it possible to use URL Driver for file transfer to Windows from UNIX? When i try using the URL Driver Configuration below error is thrown

Please assist.

Thanks,

Vinoth

Hi Vinoth,

I cannot confirm if URL config will work for a Windows Share (SMB/CIFS).

Can you check and make sure that:

1. All directories exist on the file share

2. You are using "/" not "\" as file separator in Sourcing FTC config.

LaterEdit:

Unfortunately VFS2 does not support CIFS, so your config will not work.

If you really need to write to a windows share you need to check with your BASIS team to map the share directly to the CLM server(s). Then configure FTC as 'local directory'.

Thanks Bogdan for your response.

Tried using "/" as file separator in Sourcing FTC config but still not working. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
