For a process I want to send files from a file path into base64 format to an external webservice. For this purpose i used the read file connector inside a process flow. However the setup i seem to fail at getting the setting right. 

In the process flow choosing the storage location as required. 


However in our log i keep getting the error returned. 
 


Is there any specifics to handle the formatting for the file path? Any help/examples would help.

Hello ​@martin.leneman  


It seems to me that the value that is being passed to the Source file (pointer) input parameter is not being set in the correct format, like the error says. In your example I can only see the file name but not the actual location path of where that file is saved, so it would have to be something like \\location\folder\file_name.jpg

If it is something that you can open within your file explorer, it would work :) 

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Renée
