File access/ files not found

I have a job that runs successfully on my local studio using UNCs in a context variable.  However when I deploy it to the remote engine using TMC, if succeeds with a message "tFileList_2 - File or directory count : 0" even though there are three files in the directory.

 

I've tried reformatting the URL using / and \\ and also using the local filepath, as the engine is also the fileserver sharing the file.  Its a windows system and everyone has permission on both the share and the directory.

 

Any Ideas?

Hi Jason,

 

how is your UNC variable look?

it must not depend from is it stored in context or hardcoded

this is the text of the UNC parameter:

"//RLW-WSV-DW/Backup/Inventory_Analytic"

which is the server/sharename. 

I have also tried this format:

"F:/Backup/Inventory_Analytic"

which is the local path on the remote engine server.

The job component was using this path variable : context.ImportFilepath

 

This works on my local windows machine but not from the cloud/remote engine.  It will work from the cloud if I change the variable to a local path string in the component however.

Hi,

I'm guessing the Remote Engine is running as a service/daemon on a Windows or LINUX server, does the user of the service/daemon have access to the UNC path?
