Hi @lalitsankhla

Hey @atcodedog05 , I am working on the Desktop Automation environment and the workflows are scheduled to run from the original location on disc.

Hi @lalitsankhla 

 

You might want to check your path setting they might be relative and set them to absolute.

 

Go to below setting

It will pop a window like below.

You can set to all absolute or all UNC, click on ok. Save it now and check on scheduler.

 

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi @lalitsankhla 

 

Are you running the non-admin version of Designer.  If so, the supporting macros get installed in your personal AppData folders.  If the Automation engine doesn't run with your user account, i.e. it runs with Local System, it won't have access to your AppData.

Hi @danilang,

 

I am running the Admin-Version of Designer. still not able to figure out the issue.

Whereas I have crew macros and they are running absolutely fine with the scheduler.

Hi @lalitsankhla 

 

If Crew macro is working and yours is not, reason could maybe path issue.

 

These could be possible fixes

1. Change path to absolute path in workflow dependency and check.

2. You can check the path of Crew macros in work dependency and add your macros to same folder, configure accordingly and check

 

Let me know if it works

Thanks, @atcodedog05, It worked. I moved the macro to the folder where other macros are stored.
