Portal Server 6.3: NetFile not working properly
[253 byte] By [overcomer] at [2007-11-25 19:29:17] 
Hi,We use JES 2005Q1.NetFile was installed with JCIFS, but when we tried to access windows 2000 file system, and add a share, it complains"Win interface software not found."Any comments?Thanks,Dave

For accessing windows hosts through NetFile, SUNWjcifs package has to be installed. This part has been documented. Do add this package and restart the portal server web container. I'm assume both Portal and Access Manager install the same web container. If you already install this package, set debug flag to message in AMConfig.properties and rebounce the server. Then check out log information. Jerry

Jerry,
Thanks for the reply.
JCIFS is already installed.
bash-2.05# pkginfo | grep jcifs
systemSUNWjcifsJCIFS library
I restarted the application server which hosts both access manager and portal, and set debug flag in AMConfig.properties file
We then configured a Common Host to a windows shared folder, and specified a share name without password (since no password is required), and then click on "NetFile Java2", NetFile gives a NullPointerException with the following error messages:
http://portal1.corp.inovsys.com:8080/portal/NetFileController

If I did not specify Share name, and leave share name/password blank, and then access NetFile Java2, the NetFIle window pop up, and then if I tried to add a share, the "Win Interface software not found" message pop up.
Any insight into this problem?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi, Jerry
"For accessing windows hosts through NetFile, SUNWjcifs package has to be installed. This part has been documented. "
Can you point me to the documentation that documents how SUNWjcifs should be installed? Maybe the way how I installed it is not right.
Thanks,
Dave

Could you check http://docs-pdf.sun.com/817-7691/817-7691.pdf page 64 as below:
The Sun Java System Portal Server software NetFile needs JCiFS libraries (bundled as SUNWjcifs) for Windows access. This needs to be installed in Portal Server node only. To install, use the following
steps. 1. Add this package by running pkgadd -d . SUNWjcifs from the current (this) directory.
2. Run PortalServer-base/SUNWps/lib/postinstall_JCIFS
3. Run PortalServer-base/SUNWps/bin/undeploy Verifying the Portal Server Installation
4. Run PortalServer-base/SUNWps/bin/deploy command.
5. Restart the server.
If you have done this, how big your file size you wish to retrieve? Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Thanks a lot! Actually I just found the link you provided below and finished implementing it. After I complete those steps, the "Win Interface software not found" error is gone.
But when I tried to define/access a shared network drive on windows machine, I got the following errors:

The file is very small text file.

I can't help but wondering is there any special steps on the windows side to make it "sharable"?
Because on amconsole admin, it requires share name and password, and also on NetFile console it also requires a password. We left this password blank because we did not specify password on windows network shared drive.
Thanks,
Dave

As I remember, you need to creat a system name same as your window server name and put your window login name and password to sign in the window before you can access file system. Look like you don't have login to get your window system. is it right? Jerry jh23093 at 2007-7-4 12:04:17 >
