We've just been through this at our place.

So, for what it's worth, we ended up having to qualify the network names more completely.

For example, \\server\fileshare\folder needed to become \\server.some.domain.stuff\fileshare\folder

Not sure if it was unique to our setups but the reason explained to us was because the server was on a different domain we needed to give it a fully qualified name. Works fine now.

This seems just like the normal or classic case of making sure that the service account which runs the TM1 server instance
- is not the buiilt-in "local admin" account
- has network access
- specifically has read access to the folder containing the source file

The preview window is populated by DatasourceNameForClient which in turn depends on the access rights of the user openign the TI process editor. This is different from DatasourceNameForServer which is accessed at runtime by the service account.
Please place all requests for help in a public thread. I will not answer PMs requesting assistance.

I assume you are talking about the IBM Cloud, correct? Based on your screen shot here are your settings:

Data Source Name:

Code: Select all

\\data\s\prod\SourceFiles\Facilities\Facilities Allocation US.csv
Data Source Name On Server:

Code: Select all

s:\prod\SourceFiles\Facilities\Facilities Allocation US.csv
