"Cache and Run Worflow" Grayout

fnkankeu

Hi,

 

I am trying to "cache and run" on a tool that I created but the option doesn't seems to be available (image 1). At the beginning, I thought it was because I had a Text Box tool attached to it but I created a new workflow with the text box tool attached to it and to my surprise, the cache and run workflow option is available (image 2). I checked for a solution but I couldn't find anything that helped.

 

Can someone help me understand what might be the issue with the workflow?

 

Much appreciated.

See attached (I think you guys have already covered this, just catching up). Try to cache either of the text inputs in the current setup and they're greyed out. It's because the same Text Box is controlling both inputs which are joining later on in the workflow creating a circle (best guess)

 

@fnkankeu - Your workflow is one big circle as everything ultimately joins/unions all the way through until the last union tool, at which point you can start caching again (if you activate the last container caching will work)

Thanks for the catch @Bren_Spill2 on my initial assumption - this is what happens when you try responding on a weekend 😂

@alexnajm - haha I hear you! Figured your initial assumption had to be spot on
