I hope I can do a good job of describing my issue. I am still a little confused myself.
I am currently switching my DataStage Windows 8.01 instance to Linux 64bit 8.7 version of DataStage.
I have a number of server jobs that use a sequential stage to create a file on a Windows UNC share. For example, I have \\gscnas03\gsc-dept3$\file.txt in the File name box of the sequential file stage.
How can I access this share from Linux?
A couple of options I have thought about already that are not preferable are:
1. FTP the file instead, or
2. Use Samba software (already installed on the Linux server) to create permanent mounts to the shares. I was told by my Linux team that this is not a good idea as this would create dependencies on my server to all of these shares.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
