Problem:

After running the following process:

Instance: 7082
Type: Application Engine
Name: GL_JRNL_IMP
Description: Flat File Journal Import

The following error appears in the message log:

Invalid parameter for GetAttachment(). Check environment variable PS_FILEDIR in process scheduler. (5825,118)

Solution:

In My Computer, navigated to E:PSOFTFS900webservPSOL_fsdmoinstalledAppsPSOL_fsdmoNodeCellPSOL.earPSOL.warhtmldoc

Searched under this htmldoc directory for all files containing PS_FILEDIR.

In file:///E:/PSOFT/FS900/webserv/PSOL_fsdmo/installedApps/PSOL_fsdmoNodeCell/PSOL.ear/PSOL.war/htmldoc/eng/psbooks/fglr/htm/fglr07.htm#d0e5496

the following appears:

You must define an environmental variable, PS_FILEDIR. This variable defines the temporary flat file location on the process scheduler that runs the file import process. If you have a Unix or OS390 process scheduler, you define this in the psconfig.sh file. If you have an NT process scheduler, you define this in the control panel [Micro Focus XDB Server for NX 5.1 Service Controller]. Please refer to the GetFile PeopleCode reference for more details or contact your system administrator.
