Hi guys,

All of our collegues don't have access to our Dataminer server but they need to use some reports and files that they would like to access on demand.

Is there an easy way to create a portal or something to allow users access some files and reports that are on Dataminer server using this portal ?

Thanks for your help ! 🙂

Hi, Gautier

Yes, it is possible to do it through IIS and configuring a virtual directory in a folder on your server (where you are generating the reports)

In this example I have it configured in anonymous mode enabled so that it does not require user authentication (but access can be defined with user credentials)

Finally validate the functioning of the virtual directory where you are generating the reports (as in this example) as localhost and then with the IP / directory name to the users.

I hope the information provided is useful.

Hi Gautier,

If you refer to reports generated by the DataMiner Reporting module, note that you have options to send these out either via email to those users, or you can get DataMiner to push those reports to an FTP folder for example.  This way you can push reports to people that don't have access to your DataMiner System.

Is this what you would be looking for?  Or are you talking about other files?  Because there are a variety of other options available that might be of interest to you, but it would be good then to understand exactly what you want to achieve.  That way we can provide some more to the point options.

I am looking to create a repository of files associated with a dataminer element, as shown below:

But I need to create a hiperlink with the path of these files in a Visio view. Does anyone know if it is possible?
