Alteryx Automation Temp File Issue

NoahNathan
7 - Meteor

 I created a macro that saves to a temporary file and then manipulates that temporary file. I am using the [Engine.TempFilePath] code to call/write to it.

 

When I run the app normally, it correctly writes the files:

However, when it runs on desktop automation it fails to write correctly. Any idea why?

Hi @NoahNathan

 

Just to confirm, is this the same case that we worked through together?

 

If so then the resolution was to give the required permissions and configuration to the RunAs account setup on the Scheduler.

 

Thank you

Yes. The issue was the "Run As" account having different permissions set on our side.

 

Thanks a lot Fadi!
