how to access a url in file receiver CC with space in the folder name?

[Former Member]

Hi

PI 7.11 sp4:

In a file receiver channel I would like to send the message to this folder:

"
de-prod.dk\bu\something\something\PTI eventstanden\archive\"

But I get this error message:

"Target directory 'F:\usr\sap\XP7\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\"\de-prod.dk\bu\something\something\PTI eventstanden\archive"' does not exist"

My question is: where the f.... does it get the 'F:\usr\sap\XP7\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\ from, and how can I fix it?

One issue is the space in the folder name. I have tried to replace the space with %20 and then remove the "" s around the whole url, but without any luck.

When I log on the server on which Pi is running I can access the folder using the mentioned url including the ""s.

All suggestions would be highly appreciated!

It comes from the "

Anything else but \ is treated as local folder under working directory of PI

It works for me just to copy the folder from Windows explorer into channel config. With space and without ".

The problem is fixed. Here is what did the trick:

I logged on the server on which PI is running. Here I accessed the folder in question and copied the path from windows explorer and pasted this path in the file receiver CC. After that it worked!!

Thanks for your contributions.

One simple suggestion is talk to unix or basis administrators and mount that directory in unix. Then use that path in the cc.

that long file name is indeed the full path that the folder has on the source sistem.

check if the folder actually exists and it should work with the space.

also an idea would be a simbolic link, but on windows that might be a challenge
