Workflow produced no output

Hello,

My workflow is running successfully in the gallery and the output is also getting save in the output folder where I want to store it but on gallery it says Status: Success. This workflow produced no output which is confusing, though it already had.

Please have a look at the screenshot and let me know , how should I solve it?

Regards

@areeba It's a confusing topic. When run in the gallery, you would need to either output to a relative path (so your output tool would save to Filename.yxdb for example) or package the output tool when you save to the gallery (check the box via the workflow options >> manage workflow assets screen). Files that are written anywhere else (like network or temp folders) are written but not displayed for the end user.

Hi @areeba

Joining the conversation a little late, sorry.

What I do in this cases, is to add a report at the end of my workflows, that basically says what ran, where the output was written and a link to that file/s.

This is a very simple example of one.

This is achieved with a simple Report Text tool.

I have added a report text tool to my workflow and a browse after it. It works as expected when running it from Designer (in Analytic App mode) but when I run it on the server, I get the message: "This workflow produced no output." and that's all. I have the Browse selected to display on success. but it isn't showing me anything when run from the server. Would I need to add a Render Tool to generate an item to display?

If anyone has an example with the output tool, render combination to display specific information after the file runs instead of the default "This Workflow produced no Output" could you please share an example? I've tried a couple combinations and no luck.
