Good Morning In my client I need to configure the publication of SAP Business Object reports to Sharepoint, but for the configuration as indicated in this blog, https://blogs.sap.com/2013/02/12/publishing-businessobjects-reports-to-sharepoint/ the UNC path is needed, not the URL path of the sharepoint directory. How could I obtain the UNC path? BR,

Here are steps for you: 1.Open Server Manager -> Manager -> Add Roles and Features -> In the Add Feature Wizard, check Desktop Experience -> Install. 2.Go to Services -> Start WebClient service and set the Startup Type to Automatic. 3.Open Windows Explorer -> Right click This PC -> Map network drive -> Enter the path of a site collection in the Folder box -> Click Connect using different credentials -> Finish -> Sign in with correct credential. 4.You could get the UNC path in the Windows Explorer.

Hello Emily,

Thanks for your quick response. But I have some doubts... I am a SAP technic, and I have no knowledge of Sharepoint. I understand that the four points you indicate have to be made on the server where the sharepoint is installed, right? In point 4, when you indicate Map network drive , it means that the sharepoint has to be located on a network drive.

BR,

Yes, above steps have to be made on the server where the SharePoint is installed.

Map network drive refers to mapping SharePoint and local driver.
