Outputting Nprinting Reports to Sharepoint

[#1]

Hi  has anyone had anyluck exporting an nprinting report to a sharepoint folder ?

It is strange when I run the report directly from the nprinting client it works, but when I set the schedule on the nprinting management console it fails to run.

I checked the log file and it gives me the following error message :

Service 25/01/2016 08:32:05 Error    Error: Output folder \\collaborationxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not created

Has anyone experienced this problem before  ?

Thanks

Could it be a permissions problem between the account you are running NPrinting as when running from the NP desktop client, and the account the NPService is running as?

Hi Colin

Yeah im not sure where im going wrong but we used the login name which is in the nprinting management console : Under the login section - active account . I logged into the nprinting server using that login and mapped the sharepoint driver to that machine. Maybe I missed out a step ?

I think you need to use UNC paths not mapped drives.

The QlikView services run in session 0 so cannot see mapped drives.

Can you use a UNC path instead  "\\servername\sharename"

Hi Sarah,

Have you seen the options in this post for distribution to SharePoint?

Hi Sarah,

From your original post it appears that either:

* the NPrinting service account (active account) used does not have the required rights to create a folder on the remote machine. Or

* there is something wrong with your destination folder name. Is it really \\collaborationxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? UNC paths normally take the form \\Server\Share

To test, I would log into the QlikView NPrinting Server machine as the active account and try to create a folder on the remote system. Let's say the remote server is QLIKSERVER, the shared folder is Temp and you want to create a folder xxx there. I would open a command window and enter this command at the prompt. Note errors if any:

c:\>md \\QLIKSERVER\Temp\xxx

Let us know how it goes.
