Macro causing workflow not to run on server

Hi all,

 

So I am getting this error on the server, 

  • The output connection "Directory Output" was not valid (Tool Id: 324)

my tool id is my macro. which is composed of 3 macros.

 

 

part 1

where workflow seems to stop when ran on server:

But this runs fine in designer.

 

 

All my workflow dependences are "All UNC" and when I publish to server I make sure to include the macro in the manage assets section.

 

Any idea whats going wrong?

Maybe if you enable to show all macro messages within the runtime area you will see some extra information that might help you. You can also insert some message tools within the macros to help you troubleshoot.

getting this, not sure why it isnt progressing still in the server run. Workflow run will go past this part.

You need to first confirm if the server machine can see those paths that are not found.

@gabrielvilella Well it can access the path., i have tested it in other workflows.

However I notice when its uploaded to the server, these blacked out paths are the mapped paths.

But in workflow dependencies I have made sure to change paths to UNC!
