Windows share

[former_member1244799]

Hi All,

Can you please advise on the below thing.
.
We have platform agent installed only on "srvpriv*** ".

The platform agent is not installed on "sapbod*** ".

Can I use a file event pointing to the windows shared drive "\\sapbod***\INTRPTS\Interface\ED1\Test1.txt"      by configuring the file event on "srvpriv***"

Thank you in advance.

Regads,
Ramana

Hi Ramana,

File events are not supported on remote files. As the documentation states:

The files that you want events raised for have to be local files on the platform agent system connected to by the process server. Network shares do not have adequate file locking, this causes issues because the process server cannot reliably determine when the file has been written. Where possible the system refuses to detect networked files. If you want networked files to be detected you need to install a platform agent on the system where the files are local. Files located on a SAN are considered local files. NFS or SMB mounted files [SMB mounted files are Windows shares] are considered networked files.

Regards,

HP
