Indicating a File Path

Some of the system background processes use extra parameters to indicate a File Path and/or File Name for an input file or an output file. For example, most extract processes use File Path and File Name parameter to indicate where to place the output file.

When supplying a FILE-PATH variable, the directory specified in the FILE-PATH must already exist and must grant write access to the administrator account for the product. You may need to verify a proper location with your systems administrator.

The syntax of the FILE-PATH depends on the platform used for the product application server. Contact your system administrator for verification. For example, if the platform is UNIX, use forward slashes and be sure to put a trailing slash, for example /spltemp/filepath/.
