Error: Output Data (29): Unable to Open archive for zipping:

Hi, getting an error message "Unable to Open archive for zipping". Using a working file name as my output path and a batch command to create a new folder, plus a block until done to create the folder first, then save the file. But the file isn't saving unless the folder is already there, making it seem like there's not even a block until done in place

hi @adamhuber143

If you are using Block Until Done tool, please try to disable AMP engine. Then, workflow will be executed in the intended sequence(If AMP engine is enabled, it will sometimes bypass Block Until Done tool)

If the above attempt does not solve your case, please let me know for further advice.

Hi adam,

I found this KB the other day that helped me out with an Excel issue. May be able to apply some of the same processes/ideas to zip file?

Using solution 2a the Control Containers worked for me.

Thank you, Gawa. This worked perfectly!
