To map a source or destination drive for K2 system import/export

This procedure provides a mapped network drive for file import/export on the machine on which you are using AppCenter, such that you can use the drive as a verified source or destination via AppCenter’s Import or Send To features. This is required in the following cases:

  • When using AppCenter on a Control Point PC for any file import or export. You cannot use the local drive for file import or export on a Control Point PC.
  • When using AppCenter on an standalone K2 Summit system and the source or destination is not on the local K2 Summit system.
  1. On the machine that is the source or destination, create a folder to be used for file import and export.
  2. Share the folder using standard Windows procedures.

    You must map drive of source device only, not K2 Summit system.



  3. Make sure that permissions are set to allow read and write access to the appropriate user or group accounts, according to your site’s security policies.

    The folder must be shared to allow access by the user account that logs on to the K2 Summit system system.

    When mapping a shared drive, GVAdmin account must have access to the shared location.



    Note: A drive that you map for export must not require user credentials for access. If user credentials are required, the export transfer fails.
  4. On the machine on which you are using AppCenter, map the shared folder as a network drive. For example, if the shared folder is on MyPC1, map the T: drive to \\MyPC1\ImportExport.



You can now use the mapped network drive as a source or destination for file transfer using the AppCenter Import or Send To features.
