Analytic app saying "There were no output files" but still producing an output

Hello,

 

I have an analytic app which contains a batch macro. When I run the app the result window says "There were no output files" but if I go to the folder which I directed the app to save the output I can see the outputted files. See screenshot of the results window below - in the messages you can also see the files being outputted. Can someone please help with getting rid of this warning stating "There were no output files"?

Output folder which contains outputted files (even though our message says no output files)

@davidnolan Connect the workflow output to a browser tool and update the interface  designer (Ctrl +Alt+D)- on success - show result to user - select the browse tool

Hello @binuacs ,

 

In my workflow the last tool is a batch macro so there is no output anchor so I'm not sure where I should include the browse tool, see screenshot below. Is there a way to get around this?

@davidnolan I think there is no macro output configured in your batch macro, one option I am thinking add a macro output tool inside the macro then you will see the macro output anchor in the workflow , there you can add the browse tool
