Re: [U2] re directing a unidata directory to another server
The other server is not a unidata server. It's our moodle server. Both are on sql server platforms. Unidata is underneath the sql server platform for the application where the Unibasic program is generating the output files.

Re: [U2] re directing a unidata directory to another server
From what I understand you have Unidata on one machine and you want to write to a directory on another machine within your network (node). I'm not sure what you mean by a folder on another server that is in the same virtual machine...a virtual machine spans two physical machines? Assuming I've misunderstood, if you're running Windows 2003 it's easy. If you're running Windows 2008 it's relatively easy but different. Which O/S are you running?

In other words, assuming UD is the same as UV, all you need do is find the NFSALLOW (or equivalent) flag, and set it to true (ie 1). As I say, I guess UD, by default, will refuse to write to a network drive but by setting that flag you are telling UD no, it's safe to write to the network.

Re: [U2] re directing a unidata directory to another server
I don't think UD has the NFSALLOW flag. In UD, you can simply write to any directory that's available to the network where the user had write privileges. This raises a number of issues but, for instance, in Windows 2003 Server you can create a VOC entry to: OSFILE 001 DIR 002 \\SOMESERVER\D$\SOMEDIRECTORY 003 D_VOC This works but you may have to alter the permissions, if a UD user doesn't have the proper Windows permissions. In Windows 2008, however, you have to explicitly share the directory on the server. Then the VOC entry is like: OSFILE 001 DIR 002 \\SomeServer\ShareName 003 D_VOC At least this has been my experience so far.
