DPE Nano Services

Mapping UNC shares to Linux mounts

Only needed when DpeNanoServices is not running on Microsoft Windows


  • File paths in DigaSystem are stored as windows paths. This is required to allow windows desktop applications like DBM to work.

  • When Nano Services are running in a non-windows operating system we need to map windows UNC pathes to Linux/Mac mounts

  • Examples: content files or/and parameter files on a windows share

  • The mapping is configured in the file PathMapper.xml inside the Nano folder

PathMapper.xml Example

Map all windows paths starting with “\\silo\media\“ to the Linux mount “/mnt/silomedia/”

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<PathMapper>
  <Map WindowsPrefix="\\silo\media\" LinuxPrefix="/mnt/silomedia/" />
  <Map WindowsPrefix="\\myserver\parFiles\" LinuxPrefix="/mnt/parFiles/" />
</PathMapper>


Do not forget to also do the mounting inside the operating system
