I have a filecopy add-in session in my workflow, and I want to copy file from local to share drive. I run the pipeline manually, it succeed copy file to share drive. But when I set schedule, it shows cannot access to share drive.

 

I have confirm all the read-write right has been granted to the account which runs the schedule. Any suggestions for this? Thanks!

Hi @sandylinnnnnnnnn 

 

Are you passing the filepath as UNC?

 

Example:

On your local machine, the shared drive folder could be mapped as G:\Alteryx\Output

On the Alteryx machine, the shared drive folder could be mapped as E:\Alteryx\Output

 

If you try to move to G: from your local machine it would work, but from the server machine, it wouldnt.

 

The UNC path would work on both machines, it is the real path. It is something like:

\\La.company.net\Alteryx\Output
