Reports server Cannot read files from mapped drive

Hi,
Am trying to run a report from a network mapped drive under WinNT 4.0 through report server.
I get "REP-0110 Error opening or reading file" error message. After looking up the help on error, I find:
1. The file being accessed does exist
2. The login account has full privileges
with the file/directory/drive in question.
If the report to be run is on a local drive,
everything is fine.
Can anyone help me asap.
Thank you
Sundar

hello,
there are multiple things to keep in mind :
1) if you are using a mapped drive :
mapped drives are on a per-user-basis. the reports-server-service is running as a system-service by default and will not have the same mapped drives as the logged on user. in fact it fill have NO drives mapped.
what you could do is to use the UNC-path like \\servername\share\filename to adress the file
2) problems with UNC
there are some known problems using UNC to access files on remote machines in some versions of reports. pls check with oracle support services in case this causes problems.
regards,
the oracle reports team

  • Cl_gui_frontend_services= file_exist is not reading files from C drive

    Hi experts ,
    I am using the method 'cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_exist' to check whether a file exists in frontend machine or not. This method works fine and gives corerct result when i keep the file on desktop and provide the path of the files as parameter to the program but it is unable to check the existance of the same file if kept in C drive under folder program files e.g.(C:/Program files/Documware/Barcode.exe). Is this a limitation of the method or is due to some restriction/access permitions at system level that files could not be read from program files in C drive . kinldy provide your useful inputs if any one faced same issue and what is the  solution for this problem .

  • Cannot import files from hard drive

    I just got an iPod and downloaded iTunes (for Windows). I imported some music from CDs, but I can't import files from my hard drive. I've tried adding them as files and in a folder. Every time, nothing happens. I don't get an error message, but the songs don't show up anywhere in iTunes or on my iPod. Can anyone help me?
    P.S. They are .aac files.
    iTunes 7.0.2.16   Windows XP  

    Can you confirm that you are following one of the methods in the Add to Library section of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
    In particular, pay attention to the statement that "iTunes adds entries in your iTunes library for the selected files, and copies the files to your iTunes Music folder (if you have that option selected in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)."

  • HTTP_POST_FILES on UNIX server cannot read file

    Hi,
    We are currently facing an issue where we are trying to upload a file to the Content Server using the FM HTTP_POST_FILES. The file we are trying to upload resides on the SAP server itself under the folder /usr/sap/DHC/SYS/global/temporary_folder/
    When using transaction OAAD, a file can be manually stored and assigned. Internally, the same function module is used, but in that case, the file is read from the user's PC.
    In our scenario, the file can be found using OPEN DATASET and RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL. However, when using the HTTP_POST_FILES FM where the absolute path and filename are passed on, the FM goes into error with the following error :
    Error when uploading file: /usr/sap/DHC/SYS/global/temporary_folder/00006112.jpg (file_open_error)
    Does anyone have an idea what might be the issue ? Could it be that HTTP_POST_FILES is incompatible with a UNIX path ?

    Hi Frederic,
    HTTP_POST_FILES is a low level function module. Try going up in the application layer. For example, try using the functions that belong to the SCMS_AO_API function group (e.g. SCMS_AO_FILE_CREATE). Or, if you are planning to use the uploaded document with archivelink, then go further up to ARCHIVOBJECT*  function modules (e.g. ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE).
    good luck!

  • Reading files from a mapped drive

    Hello,
    I am trying to pull image files off of a network share in Oracle Forms.
    Everytime I do this, I get error FRM-47109 Cannot locate image file..... i
    have tried accessing this drive with 2 methods:
    1. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE(:datablock.imagelocation ||
    :datablock.filename || '.tif', 'ANY', BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM);
    2. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE('\\server\images\'
    ||:CRASH_IMAGES.folder || '\' || :crash_images.docno ||'.tif',
    'ANY', 'BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM');
    Both of these calls work on the development side where the T:\ drive is mapped.
    When the form is put on the production server with the same T:\ drive mapping,
    the image is unable to be located.
    I have also found Microsoft article Q122702, which explains how network shares
    are distributed to services. I have edited the registry key
    RestrictNullSessAccess to a value of 0, and remapped the drive using: NET USE
    T: \\server\images /user:Administrator password.
    None of this has worked for me so far, and I have been informed of possible
    issues with forms and mapped network drives. Has anyone seen this before or know of a fix?
    Thanks,
    Jordan

    I'm not too familiar with Windows user accounts.
    I'm having this problem of not being able to read files from a mapped drive.
    Using 10.1.2 Forms Service on a XP machine.
    How do i check to see which user is running the forms service and/or how do I change the settings a user has access to?
    Check in server-info and User/Group: #-1(1)/1, what the heck??
    Thanks.

  • Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

    Hi all,
    is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
    I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
    Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
    I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
    The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
    You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.

  • Can the aTV read files from an iTunes library on my nas drive without my computer being on

    I have my itunes library on a My Book Live nas drive that contains all of my digital movies and TV shows. I want to be able to watch my movies from the library without a computer running. I understand that Apple has chosen to chain you to the computer and your itunes account through Home Sharing but I can not see why they couldn't allow you to access a nas drive without a computer running because your aTV is tied to your itunes account also so why do they force you to run a computer 24/7 365 in order to access the files you have bought and paid for.
    I have a love/hate for Apple because I love the quality of the products they make but I hate how they make all of the digital files you purchase only accessible through a computer running Home Sharing even though the files are not stored on the computer.
    I have tried several things to get this to work without a computer but no luck. The only way I have found to be able to do this is to Jailbreak your aTV and install 3rd party software (which I don't want to do) that will allow you to by pass the computer and Home Sharing (which is dumber than ****) because that is all I want to do is eliminate the need of a computer running wasting electricity (I thought Apple was supposed to be an enviro friendly company, guess not). I am not trying to steal or give someone else my purchased movies and using the aTV and an internet connection they could still be able to tie your media to your itunes account so I just don't get there thinking, or lack of thinking I should say.
    Is their a way to do this without Jailbreaking or modifying your aTV?
    If not is Apple ever going to wake up and allow there customers to actually USE the media they purchase from them without Home Sharing and a computer running?

    no it can't. you need itunes open and running

  • How to read file from server

    Hi,
    When i try to read file from server,the following message is displayed .
    ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.security.AccessControlException: the Permission (java.io.FilePermission /tmp read) has not been granted to EWMTRACKTEST. The PL/SQL to grant this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'EWMTRACKTEST', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', ' /tmp', 'read' )
    ORA-06512: at "EWMTRACKTEST.GET_DIRLIST_EWM", line 1
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    thanks and regards
    P Prakash

    it seems obvious, user EWMTRACKTEST doesn`t have access to directory /tmp and the file under that.
    try to give read permission and try again.
    you could use command line like 'chmod' to grant permissions.

  • Dynamically Reading Files From Application Server

    Hi Experts,
    Presently I have to write a program which reads files from the application server dynamically. This program will be scheduled in the background with the frequency of half an hour.
    I am Using the function module

  • Reading files from shared mapped folders

    How is the correct approach to read files from a volume which maps a shared disk?
    I mean, we have the Y:\Folder which maps \\bla_bla\root\folder.
    Our application has to read into Y:\Folder.
    How do we create a File object which points to Y:\Folder?
    Thanks.

    > We catch a java.lang.NullPointerException
    Okay. You know how to debug those, right? Some condition exists that is causing an NPE (that line alone won't do it), so you'll need to do some investigating.
    How to resolve a java.lang.NullPointerException
    You'll want to ensure that the directory actually exists, you've mapped it correctly, you have the appropriate permissions to access it, etc.
