  • 1.  CSV/Delimted Input tool - how to read from a UNC server path (rather than a drive letter)?

    Posted 03-03-2026 17:53

    We have multiple flows reading delimited files using a drive letter path... 

    • p:\dg-orders

    How do I change these to be able to read from a NAS share using a UNC instead?

    e.g...

    • \\myFileShare\rootyToot\dg-orders

    But I can not get this file path to work in a D360 Analyze flow. Can this be done?

    Regards, Jim

    what issue/error are you getting? I have plenty of flows doing just this. Also note, in our implementation this runs from the server under the service account for the system - that account need permissions to the share.

    I was getting 'Unknown workspace referenced: '<share path>'.  

    But we run the services under 'Local System'.  I temporarily switched services to run under my own (Windows) account and am now able to access the folders with both CSV input and Directory tools.  Looks like we might need to set up a service account to run these under. 

    (These are existing flows currently pulling data from a mapped drive letter - which is mapped to the share at system level using a kludgy process.  But we are migrating to a new server and I'm having trouble getting that system level mapping process to work in the new environment, so was looking for alternatives).  

    Thanks for your feedback on the service account.  

    Jim
