Possible file path or filename problems for FME Server

I received the following error message when running the job on FME server (2018.1). But this problem does not happen when running on FME desktop (2018.1). Any suggestions ? I suspect that the problem may be the path reading issue for FME Server. The filename and path works when checking in window explorer. Thank in advance for all help.

Error in the Kingdom Well Reader engine: The file could not be found.: G:\\SMT\\1 Production Projects\\Barnett (SQL Server)\\SMT_Barnett\\SMT_Barnett.tks

Hi @jhu_20

In FME Server we recommend referencing a directory or file using the UNC path: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/376/workspace-fails-using-fme-server-data-in-mapped-dr.html.

Also please ensure that the account running the FME Server Services has full permissions to this file location.

Holly,

Thanks for your response. I can confirm that changing from mapped drives to UNC path resolved the issue.

Path Copy Copy is a great tool for windows for getting the UNC path for any file direct from the context menu
