Symptoms

When a job step is configured to run a program that is located on a mapped network drive (a network drive that is mapped to a drive letter), the step fails with the following error message:

The program could not be started: The system cannot find the path specified

Cause

adTempus jobs (and the programs they run) do not have access to mapped network drives unless the mapping is performed within adTempus. See the Network Access for Jobs topic in the adTempus help for more information.

Workaround

Use a UNC path to refer to the network resource, or map the drive letter within the job as discussed in the adTempus help topic referenced above.
