Opening Data Files from a Remote Server
Figure 4-3
Open Remote F
ile dialog box
In distributed analysis mode, the Open Remote File dialog box replaces the standard
Open File dialog box.
 The list of available files, folders, and drives is dependent on what is available
on or from the remote server. The current server name is indicated at the top of
the dialog box.
 You will not have access to files on your local computer in distributed analysis
mode unless you specify the drive as a shared device or the folders containing
your data files as shared folders.
 If the server is running a different operating system (for example, you are running
Windows and the server is running UNIX), you probably won’t have access to
local data files in distributed analysis mode even if they are in shared folders.
Only one data file can be open at a time. The current data file is automatically closed
when a new data file is opened. If you want to have multiple data files open at the
same time, you can start multiple sessions.
To Open Data Files from a Remote Server
E If you aren’t already connected to the remote server, log in to the remote server.
