In SAP jobs, we have set the shared folder to point to \Server\Folder to pick up the data file, but when the job runs, the jobs shows that the file path was showing //Server/Folder which was wrong and job failed. To prove this, we change the path to use local directory D:\Folder\ and it is able to correctly showing the path D:\Folder\ and able to pick up that file but then it gives another error when picking up the file as the jobs shows D:\Folder/File.ABAP instead. So we deduce that there could be a potential bug inside the BODI sap program.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? We encountered it during the upgrde to 12.2.3.2
So are you using the same System account in old version and does the job runs fine?
I would say don’t bother about the slashes getting converted
I would personally wish not to give Share Directory path for DI stuffs. I feel it really tricky. Instead why don’t you try creating Map Network Drive and access that there?
In start -> control panel -> administrative tools -> services -> BO DataServices -> Logon, what are the two installations show there? If it is local system account, that local user has no privileges on any network share.
We are using a network account with access rights given to access the designated folder inside the SAP server. We had tested it before to open up the folder and able to see and access the files directly from our ETL server.

We had verified that the account (used by the BODS service) is able to access the shared folder in the SAP application server and we are able to see the ABAP files there (using mapped network drive). So technically, we should not have any problem accessing the files.
Do u think we should uninstall and do a clean installation again?
Does it matter if the SAP server folder and my login account does not have the same rights? I am not sure (need to check as the server not with me at the moment) but I am suspecting the SAP application may have full rights while the login account should have read only.
I think you are trying to enter into the loop of confusion again.
As Werner says, take up the Service Account in your hand and prove that it has access to that folder.
You cannot assume that Service A/c has the supremo powers. After all it is another a/c for which someone has to provide the privilege. Of course manually only. So what if someone has not done it and you not have the privilege to check it.
I would say then it is not your job or it is just a Deadlock
Definitely a READ/WRITE/DELETE Windows privilege is required. If you are not able to access the service accounts then send up the required checklist task to the person who have one…
I would like to see proof points. Screenshots. Show me the login-tab of the BO DataServices Service. The hostname of that server where you checked for the service. Proof you are actually using that job server.
And the trace log of above job execution as I am not 100% sure if the ABAP dataflow did complete and it is not related to the jobserver at all.
