Server error "cannot access" "cannot find"

[samxhander09]

Hi team! This is my first time to ever conduct UAT testing on the server. and i keep getting the below errors. To give context, i have my workflow saved on my one Drive-desktop, and in the same folder there are 2 subfolders for input and output. I also have interactive tools placed in my workflow for the output and input filepath. I'm not sure what im doing wrong, i tried checking workflow dependencies for All UNC/All relative option and re-save my workflow, but it's still the same.

Does the Server have access to those paths & OneDrive there? Otherwise it'll throw that error. Also, try posting this on the Server forum - way more traction. https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Discussions/bd-p/server-discussions

@cal thank you for this recommendation, i will be posting this on the server forum.

Sorry for asking such a noob question, but how do I check if the server has access to my paths/onedrive?

Hi @samxhander09 

Workflows shared to the Gallery do not have access to the same drives as on your local computer.  The path c:\users\yourname\... just does not exist in the server.  When you build workflows that are destined for the Gallery use network shared drives to store any required files and always use the UNC name of the share \\servername\sharename.   If the files are static and do not change you can include them in Gallery upload by selecting Manage workflow Assets and then checking the files that you want to include

this will include the files in upload package and change all the paths to relative ones making them available when run from the Gallery
