Accessing local shared drive from TIDAL within the server

[gurrappa.gulapala1]

One of the Tidal job has some .bat script on the windows server. Bat file has 2 functionality in that, 

1. It feed some date and have details in .csv

2. It will copy/move the .csv to network drive which is local shared drive.

Windows server has local drive mapped within the server. 

The 1st functionality can executed by configured run time user in the tidal jobs but the 2nd functionality is trying to execute from different user.

Why tidal jobs cannot able to access local drive within the server.. Is it possible or not?

Tidal agents can touch any network share as long as share is setup correctly and the right credentials are provided.

Mapping a drive to that share is best performed within the actual Tidal job -

aka, I wouldn't expect (reply) on a mapped drive to be around if its not within your Tidal job/session, although some people do.

And then I'd un-map that drive so you free up the drive letters.

The other way is to reference the file in this share is using unc pathing to point to your files in the share aka '\\{servername}\sharename'

A Net Use {drive letter} {pwd} \\servername\sharename /{domain/userID}

Google the exact syntax for the above...

The Agent service needs to run as an AD account.  Local system will not provide rights to network shares.
