I setup a mapped drive drive on ServerA and i called it S:\ which maps to my CHRISSYS (programming directory)
and I then changed the VOC from: ..\CHRISSYS\LFUTILS.O/TEST_HARNESS3 to S:LFUTILS.O/TEST_HARNESS2 and S:\LFUTILS.O/TEST_HARNESS2 with no luck. I get this back from telnet: LIVE>TEST_HARNESS2 Unable to open the operating system file "S:\LFUTILS.O/TEST_HARNESS2". [ENOENT] No such file or directory Do I have my path name setup correctly? The drive is mapped and I have tried a couple diff pointers. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 10:57:10 -0500 > Subject: Re: [U2] 2 servers - how do I point to a VOC on another server? > > You would need to create a new VOC entry that referenced the other drive. > > ie x:pathname\LFUTILS.O/TEST_HARNESS2 > > You could copy the VOC entry, and and prefix the drive, > but your example used a relative path (..) which I have > not used on our system, I've always used full pathnames > unless the file was in the current account directory. > > As said by someone else, record locking will not exist with this method, if > you want record locking, you will need to use uvnet. > > that said, I don't think if your only running programs this method, > locking would be a major concern, as long as your not trying to > update the source file from the other server, just accessing it. > > What I'm not sure about is whether the "object" code is the same > between a 32bit and 64bit O/S implementation...that's easy to test > once you get the link setup.
