AML ERROR - Unable to run file

tashi

jneild
sample.aml
line 3 of file /kawau2/temp/arcexe80/gpserver/amls/request9.aml
AML MESSAGE - Stopping execution of AML file due to ERROR condition
---and request9.aml on the UNIX server looks like this:---
&codepage ANSI
Precision Single Highest
&RUN \\tashi\hippo1\jneild\sample.aml
---

Cause

1. The Geoprocessing Server was unable to find the AML as the drive /hippo1 was not mounted on the server.

2. The drive share name on Windows NT is different to the UNIX drive name as
mounted on the UNIX server.
NT recognizes \\HIPPO\HIPPPODRIVE rather than \\hippo\hippo1.

Solution or Workaround



  1. Mount the disk with the AML to the UNIX server.
  2. Ensure the NT share name and the UNIX disk name are the same.
