ToolContainer (7): Disabled containers may not contain interface tools - Analytical App

Hi,

I have a workflow with the two parts that need to be run separately. I have created an analytical app where user can choose which option to run.

 

One of these options is running fine but the other is giving the error ToolContainer (7): Disabled containers may not contain interface tools.

 

There are no disabled containers in the wf. How can I resolve this?

You have a chance of that bit container being disabled with that radio button, so on your app run it must not have the interface tools. Move them out of the container and you'll be fine

Sorry which bit container are you referring to?

Would be great if you could point it out in the workflow.

The only container that contains the black Interface tools... you can also search for tool 7 by hitting Cntl+F and you'll see the container

This worked!

 

Although now there is this error - AppendFields (79): The Target stream was not properly initialized.

 

Any idea what it could be about? This tool is working fine when I run it on alteryx but not on the app

You are probably turning off the container in the app with your Radio Button, but the Append fields tool relies on data coming from that container... well if the container is disabled, there's no data going to that append so it can't work

 

You'll have to rethink the logic to make sure that if one part of your workflow is shut off, it won't affect the rest. My advice is to Debug the app so you can see how those values pass through: Debug Workflow

 

Please accept this as a solution and open up a new discussion if you have further questions since it is a different topic that the original query. Thank you and good luck!
