We can map the drives from one server to the other. Let's call the drive on Server A drive (Z:\). I assume we would still need UVnet to do this solution. If we did map a drive what would the VOC pointer look like?
This is an example what one of my VOC pointers looks like now: ..\CHRISSYS\LFUTILS.O/TEST_HARNESS2 If we wanted to map this to serverA, using drive Z how would the pointer look? > From: ggal...@wyanokegroup.com > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 09:53:57 -0500 > Subject: Re: [U2] 2 servers - how do I point to a VOC on another server? > > Since your running windows, Can you map a drive to the other servers Folder > containing the programs. > > Then just setup a VOC entry pointing to the mapped drive. > > Don't use NFS, just use windows SMB protocols.
