Hello,

For an ASCII data reader protocol, I need to load a file on a company share drive.

 

In the Path field I entered the location (\\servername\location) of the csv file.  After clicking Refresh Board seems not to find the file.  What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Steven

    Hello Steven,

     

    are you sure that the user from the board engine has rights on your share (or even the file) ?! Seems to be a problem with the access right.

     

    Best regards

    Dietmar

    Hello

    just to share some more information.

     

    I usually prefer have all files in the server.

    I saw that in some cases having the files in shared drives may slow the upload and the preview may not be visible in data read / ETL preview.

     

    For these reasons I set some batches using robocopy command.

    Such batches are placed at path Board\Jobs and launched  as 1st action in Board upload procedures.

     

    hope this helps
