Using a DPE Server Startup Script
- StartupScript.bat is located in the DpeWebApplication folder
- It is executed whenever the web application is starting
- By default it does nothing
- It can be used to give DPE Server permissions to access network file shares
- It can be used to diagnose problems; you can log the view that DPE Server has on specific resources
Examples
Connect a network file share
Even you are probably not using the drive K the DPE Server gets permission to \\MyServer\MyShare
net use K: \\MyServer\MyShare /user:MyDomain\MyStorageUser pwd
Diagnosis
Find out what drives and shares are visible for DPE Server:
net use >c:\temp\driveMappings.txt
net view \\MyServer >c:\temp\shares.txt
Find out about access rights for folders/files:
icacls \\MyServer\MyShare >c:\temp\accessRights.txt
When do you probably need a Startup Script
- Some of your DPE machines or file servers are in the cloud
- Some of your DPE machines or file servers are not in a windows domain
- DigaSystem parameter files or audio files are on an external file server and DPE Server cannot access them
