Cannot find macro - When running workflow via Gallery

Dear community,

 

this is probably a basic issue, my apologies if this was asked before.

 

I have a workflow which is running fine via Alteryx Designer. When running it via the gallery the following error message appears:

 

Error -Cannot find macro.png

Both workflow and macro have been saved in the same file location and uploaded to the gallery "private studio".

 

Any idea how this issue can be solved?

 

Many thanks,
Daniel

Hey @Daniel_Kaeppel, if you go to Options > Advanced Options > Workflow Dependencies, is your Workflow still referencing your macro from an absolute location there (i.e. locally)? If you try changing this to 'All Relative' or 'All UNC', does that remedy the issue?

Hi Data Nath,

 

thank you for getting back to me. In the workflow dependencies I cannot see the macro, only the dependencies to the output data files.

 

best regards,

Daniel

@Daniel_Kaeppel when you save your workflow to gallery, did you package the assets (macro) within the workflow? You can do this in the workflow settings > manage workflow assets. I think that'd be the easiest way as the method I outlined above relies on you saving the macro to gallery as well.
