For a 'From ASCII read file pass' Eclipse picking desktop file instead of DB server,

[former_member91276]

Hi All,

Version: IDM 8

I am using Eclipse 8.6.40 and my read ASCII file passes are picking(when clicked on the button '...' ) files from my laptop's desktop, instead of DB server. I tried restart of Eclipse and reset of Workspace, but none of that has resolved. So, could you please suggest

just yesterday, it was picking from DB server when clicked on the button '...'

Regards

Hi Plaban,

I haven't seen the feature you described where the file path is derived from DB server.

AFAIK the file paths are always related to the machine you start Eclipse on when using the three buttons to browse to the file. E.g. when using Eclipse on your desktop machine the file paths are related to your desktop machine. This also means that if you want to select the correct file path using the three buttons you need to start Eclipse on the runtime where your dispatchers are executed. This is the location you need for the files.

Best regards,

It's all about file location. The eclipse console references the local host by default, unless your job / process is pointed to another host in the source tab. It's also important to remember that the dispatcher you are using also works locally to the host that it is on. This can make it fairly easy to have "mismatches"

In short, make sure that everything is looking to the same location on the network.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply. Okay path pick-up from local machine means i have to manually fill the location of the file, if i want to keep all files on DB server. This is because there are multiple administrators of IDM/Eclipse and need sharing of files.
