Update Detour Direction

asifk

Hi Alteryx,

I have a question, I Have been working with detour tools prior and trying to use it in my current workflow, I have 3 selections that each do a join 

eg. Left - Non Top 100 ,

Inner - Top 100 and

Full - All.

However my problem is I have updated my detour direction to left should any of the selections be made, but no output is produced and I have no results from the workflow.

Strange enough when I include an output file on my detour right (based on third selection), and select the first or second option, an output is generated.

Is there a reason why my detour lefts do not work?

Please help, I've tried all possible ways.

Regards,

Asif

@asifk,

I believe the issue is because the JOIN tools will be in an error state if your detour tools don't feed it any data. The detour doesn't disable the downstream tools if the detour doesnt send data down it.

Instead of using the detour, drop each JOIN tool into their own Tool Container and then use the Action tool to enable/disable the container. This way, downstream tools wont stop when upstream tools aren't needed.

Hope this helps!
