Hello,
Has anyone had issues with saving reports to a shared network drive. The PC hosting ignition has access to the file path using file explorer and can read/write but is having trouble auto saving a report. It works fine with a local drive.
Thanks for your help!
Mapped drives won't work as they're created under the logged in user and not the system user that the Ignition service is running under. You'll want to try to use full paths to the network share ie "\\servername\sharename\folder" instead, and you'll need to make sure the user you're running Ignition as on your server has permissions to write to that folder. (You may need to edit the service to force Ignition to run under a specific user account rather than the SYSTEM account on Windows).
That did the trick, you are the man Michael!
Be warned!
I think this only applies to mapped drives, not UNC share paths.
See comment #6 in the linked topic.
