You can use a global variable for the root directory, too (just like you've already done for the file name).

Thank you Dirk Venken for your response . As per your suggestion I created District as global variable and assign variable in root directory.

But I got this error, If I mention manual district name instead variable it's working fine.

You cannot combine a fixed string with a global variable for these settings. So it's either

$Param_District_Name, with $Param_District_Name = //192.168.0.9/sap/Demo/theDistrict

or

//192.168.0.9/sap/Demo/theDistrict

Obviously, you can concatenate the fixed and variable part in a script.
