Reading a Remote File in MII 15.0

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I have this requirement that I need to read a .csv file in MII BLS which is created by shop floor system on a remote folder.

The path of the file is: \\xyz1.xyz.com\QData\Real\Machine25\State\state.csv

If I run this path from my StartMenu/Run , I am able to open this file.So there is no access issue of any kind.

But when i am using Text Loader, I am getting an exceptionthat no such file/directory. I'm not sure what needs to be done to read a remote file in MII.

Please help !

As it was a configuration issue, IT team mounted the folders which were on windows server to linux server where MIi was installed.

After that, I was able to use TextLoader action block to access the files via

Source URL path:  /../RootFolderName/FolderName/FileName.csv

Hi Sonam,

Did you check the Default path in your System Properties section.

Have a look at following post:

Hi Rohit,

We figured it out that MII server is on Linux box while the file is on windows box. So there is some problem in reading windows file via unix box - some user authentication problem. We are working with IT to resolve it.

Once it gets resolve, I will update this post to clarify what was done and how am I reading the file?

Thanks for sharing the post though.
