Alteryx Designer and Shared Drives

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to use the list runner from the crew macro pack and it normally works fine but when I am trying to point it to the full path of a workflow on the network shared drive it doesn't work anymore. It would seem that it is attaching the Alteryx installation path (C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin) to the path I am writing down in the input tool so obviously it cannot find the workflow and run it.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Thank you!

on the network shared drive, did you specify something like:

 

d:\data

 

or 

 

\\mac\home\data

?

 

You might want to try a fully qualified (UNC) path.

 

Just a suggestion ....

Hi! Thank for your reply, big fan of your work :)

 

The path I am using is in the same form as the second one you wrote: 

 

\\mac\home\data

 

Is this what you mean with a fully qualified path?

 

If I change it to the first form it works on my machine, but not on my colleagues, as this specific path is mapped on different drives on mine and my colleagues' machine.

Hi,

 

Do you have the very latest release of the CReW macros?

 

I did have a defect with UNC paths, but I beleive it is now fixed.
