RE: [U2] [UV] Sharing a network directory
Don't forget that there's a requirement to run uvregen and to restart UniVerse before any change to uvconfig will take effect. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] [UV] Sharing a network directory
Bill; It's much the same in UniData - but you don't need to "allownfs". I have VOC items like SHAREDDIR 001 DIR 002 \\servername\sharename 003 D_VOC and even REMOTEFILE 001 F 002 \\servername\sharename\directory\file 003 \\servername\sharename\directory\d_file Note: this will not respect any locking on the remote system. I use the unc path because I often forget to delete the drive mappings and they get "lost". If your login user doesn't have access then you can still do it the same way as you do for UniVerse. hth and Happy New Year Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada From: Bill Haskett Since everyone has been so kind recently I thought I'd share a solution that may help others. I like to use a "shared" directory on another machine on the network, for a wide variety of reasons. UV and UD can easily access a local directory (a directory on the same machine as U2) but accessing a network "shared" directory is a little more difficult. I haven't figured out how to do it on UD yet but in UV here's how it's done: 1) In UniAdmin select "Configuration Editor" and change the "ALLOWNFS" parameter to "1". This is the "critical" piece and escaped me for days until someone suggested it. :-) 2) Get to TCL in UV and execute the following: DOS /C"net use Z: \\Server\Share Passwd /user:Server\U2Admin" "U2Admin" is the Windows user who's logged in. 3) Create an "F" item in the VOC that looks like: U2TEMP 0001 F 0002 Z:\Temp 0003 D_VOC This will allow UV to access shared network resources without UV/NET. Hope this helps somebody. :-) Bill Haskett [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/ms-tnef which had a name of winmail.dat] --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
