Create CIFS Share - Path Details

I'm trying to specify Path details for 'Create CIFS Share'. It wants the details in the format of /volume/qtree, but I need to specify the qtree that was created earlier in the workflow. Here's what I have for 'Create Qtree':

Here's what I have for 'Set Quota':

Now, I need to 'Create CIFS Share' using this:

 

 

 

create share.gif

Is there a way to specify the path using the qtree that was created earlier in this workflow. The path needs to be in the form of /volume/qtree. The only way I can specify the slash is within single quotes '/'. But, I can't seem to incorporate the slash with notation qtree1.volume.name. Anyone ever run into this?

 

Thanks

Should be able to just use : qtree.volume.junction_path + "/" + qtree.name 

 

There is CIFS/QTree example workflow for both 7mode an CMode in WFA look in the storage provisioning group. 

 

 

Thank You,

Great info, that solved the problem. I'm new at this, so I wasn't used to that notation.

 

Thanks!
