Using map drive with rwclient with Oracle Reports 12.2.1.4.0

user6532048

I am using 12.2.1.4.0 Oracle Reports.

When using network path to run the rwclient, it is fine.

e.g.

rwclient.bat server=rep1 report=\\server01\temp\test.rep desformat=pdf DESTYPE=file DESNAME=\\server01\temp\test.pdf

However, If I map that into a drive.

e.g.

rwclient.bat server=rep1 report=O:\temp\test.rep desformat=pdf DESTYPE=file DESNAME=O:\temp\test.pdf

It returns REP-0110: Unable to Open File, but I had put those paths in the read/write list.

Is there a way that I can use rwclient with a map drive?

Hello,

UNC paths usually are restricted due to the security nature of Oracle Report.

1. Added <folderAccess> element in rwserver.conf file

<folderAccess>
<read>O:\temp\*</read>
<write>O:\temp\*</write>
</folderAccess>

1. Add this line to setDomainEnv.cmd script in $DOMAIN_HOME/bin directory

NET USE O: \\server01\my_directory /user:<userid> <password>

where:

• O: – is the mapped drive letter
• \\server01\my_directory – is the root of remote file system
• <userid> – name of user authorized to connect to remote file system.
• <password> – password for <userid>

then you can use O:\file to access files within my_directory

Thanks, Suresh

I did add the drive from file explorer, I can access the new drive in the file explorer.

Is that I also need to add "NET USE" in setDomainEnv.cmd?
