File Paths

There are three types of file paths associated with a text import: Import File Path, Test File Path, and Processed File Path. The Test and Import file paths can be local drives, mapped networked drives, or the network share names. Import File Path is relative to the host server. Test File Path is relative to your computer. Processed File Path is relative to the host server.

Example Import and Test file paths:

File Path Description

C:\AcmeData

The source/test file resides in the "AcmeData" directory on the C drive of the host server.

R:\AcmeData

The source/test file resides in the "AcmeData" directory on the R drive. This drive is a mapped networked drive to the BigBoy server.

\\BigBoy\AcmeData

The source/test file resides in the "AcmeData" directory on the BigBoy server. The drive (share) is not mapped on the server.

Example Processed file paths:

File Path Description

C:\AcmeData\Processed

The source file will be moved to the "AcmeData\Processed" directory on the C drive of the host server.

R:\AcmeData\Processed

The source file will be moved to the "AcmeData\Processed" directory on the R drive. This drive is a mapped networked drive to the BigBoy server.

\\BigBoy\AcmeData\Processed

The source file will be moved to the "AcmeData\Processed" directory on the BigBoy server. The drive (share) is not mapped not the server.
