Delay Time between containers

[cvinju]

i'm creating a workflow that (1st control container) checks to see if a dir exists, if it doesn't it will create it, then (2nd control container) move .csv files from path A to this newly created/existing path. they work when run separately but don't when combined. want to see if adding a delay between the 2 containers would help.

Couple things:

This should work.  But given your illustration, do you have the control containers connected so they run in sequence?  Otherwise, they are going to attempt to run at the same time...  See red line:

But a better option might be to create the CSV into a temp location, then simply use the Run Command to Create the directory if it doesn't exist and then move the file.  You can even have the Run Command tool run multiple statements in order if needed.

Hope that helps, -Jay

 i did have them connected and it still wasn't working. i disconnected them to test running them separately to ensure they ran successfully.

There is a Wait a Second macro available from the CReW macros - just do a quick google search and download/install them!
