Error: Designer x64 - Record Packets Locked at the End of the Run:1

New error today.

Error: Designer x64: The Designer x64 reported: Record packets locked at the end of the run: 1

I have a directory tool hooked up to a custom batch macro I created a few years ago.

The error appears only if Use AMP Engine is Enabled.  The workflow completes successfully if Use AMP Engine is Disabled.

Here's where it gets strange. 

I can open the macro and run it successfully with Use AMP Engine Enabled using the sample input file.

Going back to the workflow and running the same sample input file through the macro connected to the Directory Tool errors with Use AMP Engine Enabled.

What version of designer are you using? Does the workflow run correctly if "compatibility mode" is checked?

Hi @hellyars ,

this is interesting as it's difficult to lock down, but it usually means you've made a mistake in the configuration of a container that's being switched on or off, or when overwriting a file where the name doesn't match the extension, that sort of thing.

If you check any of those configs you might find what you're looking for.

Thanks.  I was able to get around it by copying the workflow into a new file.

Okay. I just accidentally replicated the issue.  As suggested by @mceleavey the problem seems to be associated with a switched off container in the macro the workflow uses.  To be clear, the macro workflow itself runs without error regardless of whether or not the container is switched on or off.  The problem only occurs within the workflow the macro is placed.

@hellyars ,

Cool, so this means the part (s) that the control parameter is overwriting is causing the problem. Check the validity of the string that is coming in and see if that will cause an error. Try hardcoding that into the macro and runnig it that way.

Also, if the box is closing while containing any interface tools, that will also cause an error.
