Issue/Introduction

 

• Directory Location

   

  The full path name of the directory to scan, or you can browse using the 

  Browse

   button.

Does this "path" have to be local to the simulator?  Can we connect to a mapped shared drive?  We tried and we are getting errors.

We tried using the following options:

 

1. Server name - //ABCCCC17/ABCTesting/Testing/SendSample/V2/ET/samples/9WRK 

2.  Mapped Drive - t:\\aBCXXXX117.abc.com\ABCTesting/Testing/SendSample/V2/ET/samples/9WRK 

This works when test using the ITR when the folder is mapped local to the workstation, But Does not work when deployed to the coordinator.
