Pega: How do I use Connect-File method?

Question

I want to create a text file on Pega local system and write some content in it. For that i am using Connect-File method. I have a parameter to specify there, "destination path". I don't know what destination path to give because the environment that I am using i don't know in which server it is hosted. When i give, "/tmp", it says it is not an absolute path. Any clue ?

Answer 1

Do you know which OS is running on the server Pega is running on? It it is Unix / Linux a path like

/tmp/

is an absolute path. According to the PDN article on a windows system the path should be like

C:\\temp

Do you get an error when saving the rule or later when executing the Connect-File? If the error occurs while executing, maybe you forgot to provide a filename as parameter.
