If you do not enter anything in the field logical file name, the file name can also contain the file path. In this case, the file name is only valid for a single hardware platform and must correspond to its syntax.

If you read data from the application server, please note that you enter the path from the point of view of the user who started the application server. Enter the path as an absolute one.

Please note, that only files from the application server can be read in the background. Ensure that the authorizations for the file which is to be read are correctly maintained.
