OpenCDISC on Network Drive

When running OpenCDISC on a network shared drive I get the SKIP_SD0008 error even though the pt.asc is available in the specified location and I get the SKIP_CT0018 error even though the SDTM Terminology.txt file is in the specified location. When I run OpenCDISC on my hard drive I do not get these errors. The messages accompanying these errors is as follows:

SKIP_SD0008 "N:\DEVELOPMENT\APPLICATIONS\OPENCDISC\1_4_1\opencdisc-validator\config/data/MedDRA/14.0/pt.asc is missing or lacks necessary variables and cannot be used for this cross-dataset validation."
SKIP_CT0018 "N:\DEVELOPMENT\APPLICATIONS\OPENCDISC\1_4_1\opencdisc-validator\config/data/CDISC/SDTM/2013-12-20/SDTM Terminology.txt is missing or lacks necessary variables and cannot be used for this cross-dataset validation"

It appears that OpenCDISC adds the forward slashes (/) to the directory location which, on our network drive, is identified using backward slashes (\). Is this a known issue? Is it possible for OpenCDISC to identify the location of MedDRA files and controlled terminology files when the directory is identified with backward slashes?

Hi Carol,Could you confirm

Hi Carol,

Could you confirm that your network folders have the same structure and files as you have on your local drive?

In particular, I see that SDTM CT path in your example is not exactly the same as expected. "... /2013-12-20/ ..." instead of ".../2013-12-21/..."

Thank you,

Sergiy

Same folder structure on network and local (i.e., 2013-12-20)

Thanks, Sergiy,

In both instances the SDTM CT folder was named 2013-12-20. I changed the folder name to 2013-12-21 (in both) and now neither SKIP_SD0008 or SKIP_CT0018 are triggered on the network instance. I'm happy that you identified the problem and that I can run on the network drive. However, I am baffled as to why the name of this folder causes a problem only on the network drive and equally baffled as to why changing the SDTM CT file folder name effects the ability of OpenCDISC to find a file in the MedDRA folder. But this is all inconsequential to me. Everything works now.

Thanks again,

Carol
