When Spectrum Technology Platform is running on a Windows server, it can access
data on the server's mapped drives. Since the Spectrum Technology Platform server
runs as a Windows service under a particular user account (often the Local System
account) you need to define the mapped drive in the server's start-up process in
order for it to be visible in Spectrum Enterprise Designer and Spectrum Management Console.
-
Stop the Spectrum Technology Platform server.
-
Under the folder where the Spectrum Technology Platform server is installed,
go to server\bin\wrapper. For example, C:\Program Files\Precisely\Spectrum\server\bin\wrapper.
-
Open the file wrapper.conf in a text editor.
Important: In the following steps you will add new properties to
this file. It is important that you follow these instructions precisely and
only add and modify the properties described in the following steps. Do not
modify any of the other properties in this file.
-
Add these lines:
wrapper.share.1.location
wrapper.share.1.target
wrapper.share.1.type
wrapper.share.1.account
wrapper.share.1.password
-
In the wrapper.share.1.location property, specify the
location of the mapped drive in UNC format.
Note: Do not include a trailing backslash in the UNC.
For example,
wrapper.share.1.location=\\myserver\share
-
In the wrapper.share.1.target property, specify the drive
letter to assign to this mapped drive.
For example,
wrapper.share.1.target=Y:
-
In the type property, specify
DISK.
For example,
wrapper.share.1.type=DISK
-
If the share you are connecting to requires a user name and password, specify
the user name in the wrapper.share.1.account property and
specify the password in the wrapper.share.1.password
property.
For example,
wrapper.share.1.account=domain\user123
wrapper.share.1.password=mypassword1
Note: If the Spectrum Technology Platform server service is running under the
Local System user, you cannot specify a user name and password. If the share
requires a user name and password you must modify the service to run under a
different account.
Example
This example shows two mapped drives being defined in the
wrapper.conf file.
wrapper.share.1.location=\\myserver\data
wrapper.share.1.target=Y:
wrapper.share.1.type=DISK
wrapper.share.1.account=sample\user
wrapper.share.1.password=samplepass
wrapper.share.2.location=\\myserver\moredata
wrapper.share.2.target=Z:
wrapper.share.2.type=DISK
wrapper.share.2.account=sample\user
wrapper.share.2.password=samplepass
