Using Hrefresh with mapped network drive

Products

Issue/Introduction

HRefresh requires that the clientpath must go through an SCM agent, but hsync does not.  It can use a mapped or shared network drive on the host computer (broker machine) as the client path.  Is there a way to use HRefresh with a mapped or shared network drive?

 

Environment

Harvest Software Change Manager v14.5.01

Resolution

A new utility has been developed called HRefreshex that works like HRefresh but allows deployment to mapped and shared network drives.  This utility is available by request for Harvest SCM v14.5.01 as an EFix, and will be included with the next release of Harvest SCM

Additional Information

As of October 2025 there is not yet a date for the next release of Harvest SCM.
