Mapping a network drive from each remote client workstation to the code server (Windows)

Each remote client workstation must have a network drive that is mapped to the network share on the code server.

Before you begin

• Make the code directory on the code server available to all remote client workstations.
• Log on to the remote client workstation as a valid user with shared directory access to the code server.

About this task

The following procedure uses Windows 7 as an example to show how to map a network drive from the remote client workstation to the network share on the code server.

To map a network drive from the remote client workstation:

1. On the remote client workstation, start Windows Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive.
3. In the Drive list, select the drive to which you want to map the location of the code server.
4. In the Folder field, specify the location of the share as follows:

   \\computer_name\share_name 

   where:

   computer_name

   Represents the computer name of the code server.

   share_name

   Represents the share name of the shared directory on the code server.

5. Select the Reconnect at Logon checkbox to make the share persistent.
6. Click Finish.

What to do next

Next, register each remote client workstation to allow remote clients to use the network installation of IBM® Data Server Driver Package as if the code is installed locally.
