FME Server: Read/Write from UNC path

Hi everyone!

 

I have a simple workspace that I published to FME Server Jobsubmitter: it reads a textfile from a shared UNC path and logs each line. I have configured a specific user FME_Server_User that starts my serverjobs. If I log in as FME_Server to the server, I can access the specified folder and file and modify it or whatever. I can also run the workbench in FME Desktop without a problem. As soon as I start the job from FME Server Repository GUI, it fails.

 

I get following error:

 

 

Text File Reader: Source dataset '\\\\shared\\test.txt' does not exist

 

A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details.

 

 

The problem occures in a newly created folder on the share. The old folders still work just fine with the same setup (FME_Server_User etc.).

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi

 

 

First of all, make sure that you've read through this: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/Error_Unexpected_Behavior/Workspace-Fails-on-FME-Server-When-Using-UNC

 

 

If the problem persists, have your network administrator verify that the user account that runs the FME Server engines have sufficient rights to the newly created network folder.
