Fellow Filepro users,<br>
<br>
I have run into an issue using a Linux version of filepro 5.0 and we
store historical data on a cifs mounted device. FilePro needs to
read the filenames and move the files to permanent storage based on
some information.<br>
<br>
So generally the files are dropped in a tmp folder, filepro uses
OPENDIR() to get an array with the file names, we lookup the order
and then move the file to an archive folder based on the looked up
info.<br>
<br>
This worked great until the drive failed and we had to replace it.<br>
<br>
cifs mount on the Linux side was setup the same. I added commands
to the mount to set the owner, group, file modes and directory
modes. I setup the drive as Read/Write. I can export a file into
the TMP folder. I can use SYSTEM "ls -l TMPFOLDER" and get a
directory listing.<br>
But aa=opendir("*.xml",TMPFOLDER) returns 0 files (There are a few
hundred in the folder)<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
I expect the NAS device we had to put in place in this emergency is
not functioning correctly. It is WINDOWS based and the one that
crashed was LINUX based.<br>
<br>
Is there something else I should be checking before I reprogram the
logic using another method than OPENDIR()???<br>
