Union on server gives error, as no incoming metadata

ToxicBuoy — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 06:59:03 GMT

I have a workflow which is working on my local desktop and server seamlessly. When I downloaded from my server for a enhancement, and when trying to re-upload, it's giving error.

'No incoming metadata from one or more upstream tools. Check the input data and run the workflow again'

My both inputs ( 1 is .yxdb and other is a database query), both have data and both's metadata and their data type are same.

I have seen a similar post in community, where the reason was because of a disabled tool container. It's not the same in my case, even I have removed it to test, but still it's failing for both he Union tools.

Hi @ToxicBuoy ,

Are you able to run on your Designer with no issues?

Could you please check your yxdb input? Depending on how the workflow was published, it uploads the files along with it, so maybe you only need to adjust the path in your input tool.

Let me know if that is your case.

Best,

Fernando
