Web Service on Network drive

Question

Hi!
I found a problem in PB 12.5 Classic with Web Service on Network drive.
Problem:
1- I maped a network drive E:
2- I created a Web Service on E:\WStest
3- The WS loads a .JPG file into a DW. So, the WS save the DW as a PDF.
4- The JPG file is in E:\image.jpg
5- I added the image.jpg on "Resouce Files" into the WS project
6- I deploy the WS and run
7- When I open the PDF file. The image does't appear.
I did other test, but on this test, I put the JPG file in C: and it works.
When I put the images on E:, PB creates this path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WStest_root\file\common\E and put the image.jpg into this path.
When I put the images on C:, PB creates this path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WStest_root\file\common\C and put the image.jpg into this path.
I started the Process Monitor and run the WS. The WS doesn't search the image.jpg in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WStest_root\file\common\E. The WS just search the image.jpg in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WStest_root\file\common\C.
Somebody knows how can inform this error to be fixed? My PB support expired.
Thanks in advance

Hi Pedro;
  The WebService.INI file is included with the framework. Have a look for it after you unzip the contents from SourceForge.
Note:
1) The <name> parameter is replaced with the contents of the "is_workspace_name" instance variable.
2) Make sure the WebService.ini file is included in the "Resource Files" tab of your Project object.
3) Make sure the value of your "is_workspace_name" matches the folder name of your PB target.
  - for example: you store your WorkSpace & Target PB files in "C:\Dev\PB125\WSTest"
    then make sure you set ...   is_workspace_name = "WSTest"
4) After migrating the framework (deployed in PB 12.1) - make sure that you change "nc_iis_master" class instance variable  is_pb_expected_version = '12.5.2.5629' to match your version of PB.
Tip: Set the "ib_session_logging" variable to TRUE to see the log from the framework.
HTH
