Hi experts,

 

I am facing the below error when I execute the workflow from the server(gallery), workflow will generate a new Excel file in a shared location. I don't see this error when I execute the wf from my desktop using Studio. The account that executes the wf from the server has the edit access to the folder

 

error:

The file name is generated as follows:

code2data_1-1651092577658.png

 

 

 

code2data_2-1651092594658.png

 

 

Thanks in advance for your inputs

two things:

 

1) major: can you confirm that the Server has access to the shared drive - if so is it user-account specific or Server-wide?

2) minor: try swapping three pipes for one pipe - excel on server is formatted as "filename|sheet" not "filename|||sheet"

 

one more thing - try not using "." as a separator in the datetime you are using for your dynamic filename. That's a definite problem.
