Repository Manager & Global Services -> Network Path

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am having some troubles Configuring any of the Repositorys (CM or FS) it seems that does not take the network path created inside Global Services -> Network Path.

In the other hand if I put the direction
server ip\Folder directly. I got a different error that tells me that the user & Password is wrong. But the user & password is specified in the network path.

Any Idea would be appreciated.

Hi Orlando,

you have to put the
server ip\folder once in the network path and also in the parameter of the rep.man. You cannot simply enter the name of the network path config object into the parameter of the rep.man.

So if the error message is about wrong user/password. most probably it is the wrong user/password entered in the network path.

You could try accessing/mounting the
server ip\folder onto the portal host with operating tools, to see if your user and password works.

Hello Sascha,

I think that you didn´t understanme I Tried it in the following two ways and got the following erros:

1.- I create a Network path inside Global Services -> Network Path

Name: Windows_FileSystem

jCIFS Protocol: checked

Network Path:

server olfer

Password: xxxx

User: xxx

Then in the repository manager (CM & FS) in the parameter Root Directory I put Windows_FileSystem.

The error that I got was:

Startup Error: The localroot does not exist: /usr/sap/PS2/JC60/j2ee/cluster/server0/Windows_FileSystem

It seems that the portal is looking inside itself instead of using the network Path

2.- in the repository manager (CM & FS) in the parameter Root Directory I put

server olfer

The error that I got was:

Startup Error: Wrong user/password

But here I didn´t specified any user or password... because the user and password are in the network path.

I am trying to conect a Repository Manager (CM or FS) using the portals on UNIX and the FS on Windows.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Orlando,

it seems I understood you perfeclty right, but you did not understand me )

Your way number 1. is the wrong way. It is not possible to enter the config name of the network path "Windows_FileSystem" into the Parameter "Root Directory..." at the repository manager.

You really have to enter
server\folder into the rep.man. parameter like you did in your number 2. in addition to configure the network path.

So your number 2. is the only right way to do it.

In anyway the error message you get is because the user/password you entered at the network path is wrong.

Thats why I suggested to try to mount the
server\folder manually on operating system and check if user/password works there.

When configuring the network path, the fsmount service will mount the share. Unfortunately you will only get an error message if something failes there, when you configure a rep.man. also pointing to the share. Thats the confusing thing about it...
