Trouble with Script On Server Host Monitor

[Gilali]

Hi,

I tested, yesterday, a vb script whose detect a file presence on mapped drive in our network. I created test name.
When I tested it from RCC, I have a good reply :

Script executed
Status: Ok
Reply: File is present

When I tried to do that from server where host monitor is installed, I have this reply :

Script executed
Status: Bad
Reply: File not present



From RCC and Server, I have access to this file with no restrictions!!!

Mapped drive is both defined.

Someone has an idea ???

Ok, I found another way to check it.

Simply using full path adress like \\server\drive\folder\...\file.TXT and it's running good.


But I can't explain why it didn't work with mapped drive.

But I can't explain why it didn't work with mapped drive.

Probably because HostMonitor is started as service?

Why do you need such script? HostMonitor offers "File/Folder Availability" test method.

Sorry for my later response, I was in holiday

Yes, it's installed like service.

Why do you need such script? HostMonitor offers "File/Folder Availability" test method.

Because file name changes every day. ie : FileName_dd_MM_YY.CSV

I'll try to extract file name without date, and test it if it is present or not in folder.


Thanks again for your help.

>Yes, it's installed like service.

Windows services do not have access to mapped drives. You should use UNC path instead.

>Because file name changes every day. ie : FileName_dd_MM_YY.CSV

So what is the problem? You may use variables in the path to the file.
Please check the manual or on-line help for more information
