Deploying a Directory tool

Hi I am trying to deploy my workflow to our private server and I am getting the following error. The input to the workflow is a directory tool and I have added a text browse tool to convert to an app. Can someone please provide some guidance?

 

Thanks!

Hi @sg081994 

 

This is just a diagnostic - the gallery doesn't have access to your desktop so it throws this error. Since you're updating it with an interface tool it should still work, provided the server can access the path that is entered.

Hi @sg081994 , 

 

Do you have any idea if the account that the workflow is run by on the Server/Gallery has permission to access the local directory?


Also, I'd advise you to set the directory paths to use the UNC versions in your workflow.


UNC is Uniform Naming Convention. Basically, it removes relative paths (like custom mapped folders/drives) and replaces them with their real name.

 

After you've built and saved your workflow, click: Options --> Advanced Options --> Workflow Dependencies --> All UNC
