Re: Execute a batch file with CFEXECUTE
I'm able to execute the batch file now but nothing happen. It seems like Coldfusion server doesn't allow me to map a shared drive on another server. What I want to do is to copy a file on the coldfusion server to my database server. I created a batch file to map the shared drive on my DB server and copy the file over to my DB server. Unfortunately, that didn't happen the way I intended to be. So, I just want to ask is it coldfusion not allowing to map a drive in the code or am I missing something. This is driving me insane.

Re: Execute a batch file with CFEXECUTE
The default configuration of ColdFusion does not have any permissions to network resources outside the server. By default ColdFusion is configured to run under a local system user in the Windows Services panel. If CF needs permissions to resources outside the local server it needs to be given them by assigning access to the resource to the user it is running under, or creating a user with the appropriate permissions and configuring CF to run under that user. ~| CF 8 â Scorpio beta now available, easily build great internet experiences â Try it now on Labs http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_adobecf8_beta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:281666 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Execute a batch file with CFEXECUTE
I haven't done exactly what you are attempting to do, but we move files
over to our db server for bulk insert using cffile and UNC paths. So you
would use a cffile call with the action move and the destination \\{db
ip}\{share}\ The big gotcha (and possibly what's wrong with your
current process) is that there has to be matching user accounts on both
machines. We run Coldfusion under a named user account (cfusion in our
case) and once we set up a cfusion user account with a matching password
on the db server it worked like a charm. So the first thing I'd do is to
find out what account the CF service is running under, then make sure
its a named account and that there is a matching account on the other box.

RE: Execute a batch file with CFEXECUTE
You don't need a mapped drive to do this.. Drive mapping is really a convention for the convenience of users. You should... 1) On the server you are copying TO create share ... The share will have a name (let's call him bob). 2) Create a USER on that same server ... Lets say sam with a password of iam 3) Give the USER on that server permissions to the files and folders (acl permissions) and rights to the share (share permissions). 4) On the CF server create the same user (same username/password - sam/iam) 5) change the service permissions of all of the CF services you are using (Cfapplication server, odbc server, search etc) to login using sam/iam... Note, sam will need to have permissions on the web server to run as a service. You can give sam local admin rights if you like - but there are some implications to that. Suffice it to say that, while same can have very restrictive permissions on the DB server, he must have some expanded permissions on the web server because he's going to be doing more than just copying files. He needs access to the cf files and other services on that machine. 6) Once you have your services logging in as your new user you can copy your file using a UNC path as in\\db_servername\sharename\somefile.txt.

RE: Execute a batch file with CFEXECUTE
Of course... You can use domain accounts for this as well... Making sure the share is permissioned for a group or user on the domain and then running the cf server on that domain account. -Original Message- From: Calvin Trinh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 11:09 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Execute a batch file with CFEXECUTE I'm able to execute the batch file now but nothing happen.

RE: Execute a batch file with CFEXECUTE
Make sure the user context that CF is running under has permissions. It may not have a mapped drive when it executes the script, but that can be part of the script, or you might be able use a UNC name. -Original Message- From: Calvin Trinh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 12:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Execute a batch file with CFEXECUTE I'm able to execute the batch file now but nothing happen.

Thanks for the reply. You should be able to reference UNC paths in your batch file, in lieu of mapped drives. Assuming you are running ColdFusion on a Windows server, and that the account that the ColdFusion service is running under has been granted priveledges on the remote server, it should work fine without mapping a drive. ~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
