Block Until Done while using server

[George-S]

Hi All,

I made a process that uses the command prompt to look in specific folders find .xls files, converts then to .xlsx saves then in a different folder, then deletes the .xls files. This process works great while using designer. When I upload this workflow to the gallery and run it through the gallery. The process only deletes the .xls files. I am using a block until done tool and I feel like alteryx server doesn't actually block the data. Any advise?

Thanks,

hi @George-S 
Just to let you know you have not got your block until done configured correctly.
Effectively the outputs will trigger one at a time (so, output 1, then output 2).
In order for it to work correctly, you will need to have both the select tool in stream 1, and the formula tool in stream 2, connected to the block until done tool.

(I hope the terrible MS paint job is illustrative enough)!

I did configure the tool as your suggested and I got the same response from Alteryx server. Which was to delete my file before making an .xlsx copy of it.
