On a regular basis I receive a zip file to a shared folder on a particular server.
I have an Alteryx workflow that gets that zip file and processes its three .xlsx files one at a time (using control containers and AMP) and deposits the processed files elsewhere.
My company also uses the Alteryx Gallery to schedule workflows to run regularly. I am doing that with the workflow in question.
Because I know when the file will be in the folder I can use the Gallery to schedule the workflow to run well after that time so that it can process and output the data correctly.
Here is the issue.
When the gallery tries to run the workflow then it fails with this error -
"<server filepath>...<gibberish>...<temp location>...\Zip_0_._<zip file name>_<gibberish>_<xlsx file name>.xlsx: The system cannot find the path specified. (3)"
Yet if I try to run the workflow from my desktop Alteryx Designer then it works just fine. The workflow runs complete and fully with no errors.
The fact that it runs fine from my desktop Alteryx (with identical file locations, names, workflow configurations, and everything else) implies that the issue is not with my workflow or any of the tools inside it.
Yet the fact that it runs just fine when I click "Run" on my desktop Alteryx would seem to indicate that the issue is not with Alteryx' permissions on the shared folder (which is the target of the "input" tools in the workflow).
So what could the issue possibly be?
Why would this workflow throw an error when run from the gallery (scheduled or manual) and yet not throw an error when it is run from my desktop?
