Render Tool not saving to path when workflow running in Gallery

AlleghenyAnalyst12

I have a workflow that looks like this. The render tool toward the end is outputting to a .pdf file that is on a network drive.

When I run this workflow it works, however, when I run this workflow in Gallery it tries to output the .pdf file, not to the path that I chose, but instead to the "Staging directory."

Currently my Gallery is being run as a 'proxy user,' but I know for a fact that that proxy user has access to the network directory I put in that render tool (in fact, when I run this workflow on the Designer copy that is sitting on the Gallery Server, it runs perfectly fine).

Does anybody have any experience with this where the Render Tool dos not output to the correct path when uploaded to the Gallery?

@AlleghenyAnalyst12 I would suspect that your render tool output is being "packaged". When you save the workflow to your gallery, click on workflow options >>> manage workflow assets. You'll want to make sure that the render tool is unchecked. You'll want to double check this every time you save to the gallery. You will need to make sure that you've used UNC pathing (\\server\folder\file.pdf) instead of standard pathing (P:\folder\file.pdf). You can change this under options >>> advanced>> workflow dependencies and then click on "edit" by your directory. Then you can click UNC at the bottom.

Hope that helps!
