LAN (Outbound) ​

A LAN Transport is used to connect to a shared network folder over the local network. You can send Files to the shared network folder. You configure the IBM MQ Transport with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote service and sending any files.

The LAN Transport can only be used with a UNC network path.

WARNING

It is not possible to use mapped network paths if the action is to be executed under FlowService. This is because service applications are not able to access information regarding mapped network drives. You should use the UNC path instead
