Hi,
Can FileInput node poll on a remote directory. I have shared a directory on another windows machine and have deployed my message flow on another windows machine.
Can the node access the remote directory. I tried but it was not picking. Do we need to do any specific action for this.
Regards,
Saurabh |

By and large, FileInput node should use the operating system to open whatever path is given to it. So if the operating system provides a mechanism for a path that mentions a remote server, then FileInput should use that.
But remember that FileInput node uses the Broker service user to access the remote path.
Unless you set up FTP and configure an FTP security id using mqsisetdbparms. |

How are you specifying the directory to access? I found that I couldn't connect remotely using a mapped drive but could connect with no problems when specifying the remote system name in the directory string, e.g.;
\\someComputerName\remotedirectory
BTW, this is with v7. |

| You should be able to use a mapped drive, provided you have actually taken steps to ensure that the drive mapping exists in the Broker's environment - which it does not necessarily do if you log in as some random user and map the drive. |
