On-Demand error when NSQ access .qvw through server, but not from local .qvw (Specified path not found)

[bwisealiahmad]

Hi,

So I have a test server where I have a .qvw with the on-demand objects on. I’ve tried to trigger some reports with these objects and have tested following two scenarios:

• Connect to XXX.NSQ – The .qvw is stored on nPrinting server and is connected locally – works with the On Demand object.
• Connect to YYY.NSQ – The .qvw is stored on a different server and the .NSQ is connected to it through the server – does not work.

When I try to use the .NSQ that is connected to the .qvw through the server I get an “unspecified path” error on the on-demand queue. I’ve tried to run this report with the designer while it is connected to the .qvw through the server and that works fine, so I don’t get why it won’t work when the on-demand objects are triggering the job.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I would log in as the service account used to run the NPrinting services and try to access the QVW using the path specified in the connection.

Note that mapped drives are not supported, you need to use UNC paths instead. This document should help you troubleshoot: Requirements for NPrinting 14 and following versions up to NPrinting 16

Hi Daniel,

I did that and turned out the service user had only gottan a user cal on prod and not test and this was the test server the .qvw was on.

Easy fix.

Thanks for responding tho!

Cheers mate.
