I want to know how to save an output file to output drive outside the EDASERVER in WF 8 window server?

I have found many suggestions of use APP MAP, as in
http://forums.informationbuild...71057331/m/943102364

suggest to “ APP MAP the server/machine via the Reporting server in edasprof.prf and SAVE to the MAPped DRIVE:\\foldername “.
I have all the permission for the output drive - “Full control, modify, Read & execute, list folder contents, read,…”. Our folks can save output to the drive with WF 7.7.03 window server, but my WF8.0.03 does not work.

My question is :
should the APP MAP be done at edasprof.prf or can be done at wf program level? or anything I miss?


1) I used APP AMP at WF program level, it ran OK with no error, but I can’t find the output file at my output drive. See attached WF program.

2) Our admin later added the APP MAP in EDASPROF.prf, and also include it at Application path. When I ran the attached WF program, it remains the same, no error from program, but I still can’t locate the output in the output drive.

Do you have any clues? Thanks.
APP MAP WFOUTPUT \\s11BAB3\DMIA\WF_OUTPUT
FILEDEF SAVEOUT DISK WFOUTPUT\EMILY1.XLS

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
     CAR.COMP.CAR
     CAR.CARREC.MODEL
     CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
     CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
     CAR.SPECS.MPG
	 ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 FORMAT FOCUS
END

TABLE FILE HOLD1
PRINT
	*
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SAVE AS SAVEOUT FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
$
ENDSTYLE
END

The way we do this is to map a network drive on our reporting server first.
We then create the file on a drive within the Reporting Server and the copy (or move) it to the desired network outside the Server

At the beginning of the fex we add

-SET &FILE1= 'ITEMDETAILS' | '.CSV';
CMD net use G: \\TGMO1\CORP_IS\MOIBI
-SET &OUTDIR1 = 'G:\';
-SET &OUTDIR = &OUTDIR1 | &FILE1;
-SET &INDIR1 = 'C:\IBI\APPS\OUTPUT-FILES\';
-SET &INDIR = &INDIR1 | &FILE1;


FILEDEF ITEMDETAILS DISK C:\IBI\APPS\OUTPUT-FILES\&FILE1

...
Add the fex in here
...
ON TABLE SAVE AS 'ITEMDETAILS' FORMAT COMT
END
...

and then at the end we have

CMD COPY &INDIR &OUTDIR
-RUN
CMD net use G: /delete

You can also try using .bat script to push the file from server to remote machine.
Call the .bat OS file at the end of the procedure.

Thanks,
Ram

Use
FILEDEF SAVEOUT DISK \\s11BAB3\DMIA\WF_OUTPUT\EMILY1.XLS
I get FOC350 ERROR WRITING OUTPUT FILE:SAVEOUT.

use
APP FI SAVEOUT DISK WFOUTPUT\EMILY1.XLS or
FILEDEF SAVEOUT DISK WFOUTPUT\EMILY1.XLS
I receive file save success message, but can't find the output file.

Is the WebFOCUSA service running as a named user or as "Local System"

If the later, then you should try running as a named user and then ensure that the named user has write/modify access to the shared folder.

you may also need to give the user modify access to the folder on the NTFS level too as sometimes this can over-ride the share permissions.

Hope that helps

Regards

Stu

Did you try rogerwilkouk's suggestion? Avoiding the UNC notation altogether and exposing it as a mapped drive instead may make things easier:

-DOS net use G: \\s11BAB3\DMIA
APP MAP WFOUTPUT G:\WF_OUTPUT
FILEDEF SAVEOUT DISK WFOUTPUT/EMILY1.XLS
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
     CAR.COMP.CAR
     CAR.CARREC.MODEL
     CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
     CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
     CAR.SPECS.MPG
	 ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 FORMAT FOCUS
END

TABLE FILE HOLD1
PRINT
	*
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SAVE AS SAVEOUT FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-DOS net use G: /delete

Thanks for all your tips.
I still can't get it work. I gues this is more like WF 8 issue.

Has anyone with WF 8 successfully saved a file outside the EDASERVER?

thanks,
Emily
