Publishing Targets - Mapped Drives Work?

[Rob]

I am experimenting to see if our OpenText 11 install can publish faster to a shared folder on another server via mapped drive ("O:\") instead of a UNC Path designation ("\\server_name\share_name\").  It does not seem possible to get OpenText publishing to recognize a mapped drive.  Any thoughts on whether this is possible and how to do it?

 

Shouldn't be a share permissions issue because the needs would be the same regardless of the approach to accessing the share.

 

OpenText documentation does not discuss this possibility.

What user account is publishing the project?  Are mapped drives set in this user account profile? Does OpenText recognize drive mapping? Some web apps need absolute paths, and mapped drives are more for aliasing long UNC paths for human ease.

Not sure about the abilities of opentext's publishing system.

It is using account WSMUser and that account has permissions. 

 

I am asking if it recognizes drive mapping and how to do it.  It seems I got settings right.

Hi,

UNC works for sure

Mapped drive, no, but I remember there was a ticket with similar question, and it was possible, check with support

Shared directory, same as mapped drive, please check

I have opened a ticket to find out how to publish to a mapped drive.

The ability for WSM a set of Windows services isn't a limitation of the product but of Windows. The Mapped drives are active only to users with a logged in full session not running as a service per Microsoft best practices:

UNC will provide the functionality you want.
