\nI’m having trouble getting this working.\nThe documentation says I should do something like\n<\/p>\n
\n<condition file=\"$\\path\\to\\file.ext\"\n action=\"C:\\path\\to\\validate.xyz\" \/>\n<\/pre>\n\nIf I use a shared network path for my validation script,\nI get “access denied”.\n<\/p>\n
\n<condition file=\"$\\Nosebleed\\MasterTemplate.xml\"\n action=\"\\\\project\\admin\\validate.xyz\" \/>\n<\/pre>\n\nIf I use an internal path:\n<\/p>\n
\n<condition file=\"$\\Nosebleed\\MasterTemplate.xml\"\n action=\"$\\Scripts\\validate.xyz\" >\n<\/pre>\n\nI get “file not found”.\nI added $\\Scripts\\validate.xyz to the document repository,\nso the server should be able to see it.\nAm I missing something obvious here?\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n(I like how this person just made up a feature,\nin this case, using a repository path as an action\nrather than a physical file path.)\n<\/p>\n
\n\nFrom<\/b>: Raymond\n<\/p>\n
\nMy psychic powers tell me that the account under which the\nserver is running does not have access to\n\\\\project\\admin\\validate.xyz<\/code>.\nAnd adding the validation script to the document repository\nallows the server to access it only if the server\nhas an active (and up-to-date) workspace joined to the repository<\/i>.\nSure the server has a copy of validate.xyz, but that copy\nis in the repository database<\/i>.\n(Adding a file to the repository is more than just a “copy” operation.)\n<\/p>\n\nI would not be surprised if having the server also maintain\na live workspace in itself is not a recommended practice.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nFrom<\/b>: X\n<\/p>\n
\nI agree with your assessment of the “access denied” issue,\nbut I really don’t want the validate.xyz script to reside\non an external share.\nWhere is the best place to put the script?\nOn the server or a share?\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nFrom<\/b>: Raymond\n<\/p>\n
\nThe documentation for the XYZ add-on pack recommends\nputting the scripts on the server,\naccessible via a share.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nFrom<\/b>: X\n<\/p>\n
\nBut that’s what I did, and the result was “access denied.”\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nFrom<\/b>: Raymond\n<\/p>\n
\nNo, that’s not what you did.\nThe recommendation is to put the scripts on the server\n(C:\\Scripts\\validate.xyz) and then share out your scripts\n(net share Scripts=C:\\Scripts) so administrators can update\nthem remotely.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\nFrom<\/b>: X\n<\/p>\n
\nI read the XYZ Toolkit documentation for conditions<\/code>,\nand it says\n“Get an IT-managed share created.”\nI suppose I need to contact the IT department to have that done.\nCorrect?\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\nAt this point, I got tired of hand-holding.\n<\/p>\n

\nYou can read just as well as I can.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\nPrivately, I sent a message to A<\/i>:\n<\/p>\n\n\nFrom<\/b>: Raymond
\nTo<\/b>: A\n<\/p>\n\nYou can read just as well as I can.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nActually, that statement is a lie.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
