Hi all,
could not find any solution yet for the following idea:
we would like to start a Java program on our KNIME Server, i.e. the Java code should run on the server but the program itself is located on an external file system.
The reason for this is that we have a KNIME Server installation in our company which does not allow to copy any additional files or programs to the internal file systems of the server.
It is possible to access external file systems from this KNIME server to read and write files but only if we use either an SMB node or a Sharepoint online connector.
So the question is in my mind whether it is also possible to use SMB or Sharepoint Connectors somehow (?) to grab the Java program and to execute it. There is a suitable node “Execute Shell Script” which allows in principle to start our Java program. On the local KNIME installation this works fine. But on the server we would need somehow to combine SMB node or Sharepoint online connector with the “Execute Shell Script” node in order to fill in the right “path to execution dir”.
But I’m not sure whether this is possible in any way, maybe there are others alternatives?
Any ideas from the community? Thanks in advance!
