Downloaded the jcifs-1.3.18.jar from http://jcifs.samba.org/src/ to DATAFARI_SOURCE_DIR\mcf\mcf_home\connector-lib-proprietary. Renamed it to jcifs.jar. Edited the Datafari/mcf/mcf_home/connectors.xml file and uncommented the  line - but Windows shares does not show in the list of connector types. I have stopped/restarted datafari a couple of times and no joy.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Troy,

1. Why did you rename the jar ? (should not impact though, but it is not requested in the readme procedure)

2. Can you copy/paste your connectors.xml file content ?

Regards,

Cedric

Renamed just for testing purposes. I renamed it back to the original name.

Ok it seems you did not fully uncomment the line, that's why it does not work. Please replace this line:

By this line:

It's early on a Monday. Thanks for catching that - but making that change had no effect. Windows Shares still does not show in list of connectors.

You also need to stop and restart datafari once such a change is made.

I have done that and rebooted the system also - no change in the available connector types.

I even tried commenting out the Alfresco Webscript connector as shown below but it does not remove it from the list. So somehow the page is not refreshing even after a server/service restart.

Hi,

Please launch the script initialize-db.sh in mcf_home to make mcf takes your change into account,

Actually I just removed the opt/datafari folder and reinstalled and it is working now after making the appropriate changes and before starting the service.

thanks.

Hi Troy,

I'm glad that you managed to have the new connector working.

The procedure you did at the beginning was correct but I assume that you tried to add the connector in an existing Datafari. You can still add it but there is an additional step : you need to tell Manifoldcf to initialize again all the connectors.

We did not precise the two cases in our documentation so I created a page on our wiki to detail that for other people :

Best,

Olivier
