Failed to move Files

Question

Hi everyone, I made a process that after if finishes ok its supposed to move all files it used to another folder. It should be very straight forward but I can’t make it work. I get this error, but if a copy and paste the command in a cmd screen it works properly. Could it be that it doesn’t work on shared folders? Any ideas?

@KilianLYes I’m sorry! Didn’t see it, after I reply I check and found it. Ok so I did 2 test, one with the folder I’m using (Office 365 sync folder) and it failed.

Then I test again with a folder in my c drive... now it worked... so I guess it’s something wrong with the Office356. How should I write the path to make it work?

Hi @imaran_669 ,

thanks for sharing.

My example includes the MOVE command also. But you are using events and not the run command tool.

In the evento tab, you need to point to a .bat file containing the command (click on examinar). You either create it yourself or via Alteryx.

Hi @KilianL , thanks for the reply!

This doesn’t fit what I need because I have to move not rename.

I’m currently using events configured like this:

MOVE "C:\Users\xxx\Office 365\Campaña PYMES\*.txt" "C:\Users\xxx\Office 365\Campaña PYMES\Procesados\"
