    Are there any plane to develop a node to read/write from Microsoft Domain LAN drives when LAE is running on Linux/Solaris?

    Hi Steve,

    This is possible today with our existing file nodes. The requirement is the LAN drive/directory must be mounted or attached to the Linux system. There are a couple of ways to do this and it will require work from your IT and System Admins.

    1) Use SAMBA (SMB) in Linux to connect to the LAN file system
    2) Use an NFS mount in Linux to connect to the LAN file system

    Once this has been setup you can then access your files directory using the Linux directory that was setup with either of these options. Make sure that option selected is setup to reconnect when the Linux server is restarted.

    Steve,

    If you are looking for an alternate method to do this, attached is an experimental/prototype node created to read a file from a Windows network but could easily be modified to write a file as well. Please be aware that this node is not part of the base product, uses a 3rd party library and is in draft form. Basically, all that it does is retrieve a file from the windows network based on specified user credentials and then places it on the LAE server with the file path captured on the output pin.

    Steps:
    1. Download the CIFS Library:
    https://jcifs.samba.org/src/jcifs-1.3.18.jar
    2. Place jar in directory:
    <LAE Install Directory>/lib/java/ext
    3. Enter file information. For example: If you have file M:\TempShareFolder\SampleFile.csv on ShareName(\\ComputerX)(M: )
    Host=ComputerX
    ShareName=ShareName
    Folder=TempShareFolder
    FileName=samplefile.csv
    Domain=yourDomainName
    UserName=youUserName
    Password=yourPassword
    ClientIP=<get your IP>

    4. To get your IP, go to command prompt and type the following. (The IP will be the value in the 2nd Address Value)
    nslookup ComputerX
