Manage Workflow Assets does not show assets and does not publish to server

Archaeopteryx
10 - Fireball

Upon publishing to the Alteryx Server, the dialog box with the link, "Manage Workflow Assets" does not show the assets, and, upon attempting to publish anyway results in a red-ink error "Error In Path". 

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi @Archaeopteryx ,

 

Can you please either share a sample or give more information regarding which assets you have within the workflow.

Hi @Archaeopteryx ,

 

Have you checked your workflow dependencies for errors ?

Hi,

See attachment.

The assets are Excel documents on a network drive. This network drive works successfully for us for years. I have looked at the file paths of all input and output documents and they are correct. 

 

Could interface tools cause such an error?

 

thank you,

Chris

Hi @Archaeopteryx 

 

Designer will tolerate the use of more than 3 pipes when specifying a sheet.  The Server does not.

Endure that your reference to a sheet has only 3, eg: |||Sheet1

Hi @Archaeopteryx ,

 

Is it possible to share a sample path where you are getting this error.

 

It might be because the number of | (pipe) between the file name and sheet name in an excel output. It should be 3 pipes.

 

Best,

Jagdeesh

Can you share paths as it looks like there is a problem with some character ?

Do all ".xlsx" documents have to have pipes and a sheet name?

Thank you everyone for your help. I've discovered a couple of things:

This problem is not as easily detectable, but there are line breaks in the paths to the network drive. There were also some paths with "\\" double back slashes, which I'm not sure is a problem, but those got corrected anyway. The associate I'm working with is resolving these now. 

I'll report back what we find.

Chris
