Hi guys,
It seems like I’m going to be doing a lot of AIF in the future, so I’d like to share the first AIF error I came across:
The path C:\AIF does not exist or is not accessible from an AOS server. Always use a UNC path.
You can get this error when setting up channels.
While I immediately know what the problem was (you have to use shares), my less technical-minded colleague didn’t know what to do.
This is what Wikipedia has to say about ‘UNC path’:
The Microsoft Windows UNC, short for Universal Naming Convention or Uniform Naming Convention, specifies a common syntax to describe the location of a network resource, such as a shared file, directory, or printer. The UNC syntax for Windows systems has the generic form:
\\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource
So there you have it, you have to use a shared folder in stead of a local folder.
This is logical, as AIF runs on server, and the AOS can not access your local folders.
