To map a source or destination drive
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 a K2 Summit SAN-attached system for any file import or export. You cannot use the local drive for file import or export on a K2 Summit SAN-attached system.
- When using AppCenter on an standalone K2 Summit/Solo system and the source or destination is not on the local K2 Summit/Solo system.
- On the machine that is the source or destination, create a folder to be used for file import and export.
-
Share the folder using standard Windows procedures.
You must map drive of source device only, not K2 Summit/Solo system.
-
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.
Note: A drive that you map for export must not require user credentials for access. If user credentials are required, the export transfer fails.
- 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.
