Gallery: Unable to Translate Alias When Scheduled, Alias Translated When Run Manually

Hi,

I've uploaded a workflow to the gallery. When I run the workflow manually it runs successfully. I've scheduled the workflow to run at 8am and the workflow fails with the error message "Unable to Translate Alias." Why would something like this happen, and how can I fix it?

Thanks,

Jon

Thanks @NickSm @AnupD @LisaL for your help! I ended up deleting the workflow on the gallery, re-saving it to the gallery, and it worked. I suspect it was something to do with the data connection but I wasn't able to figure out why it wasn't working.

Typically this is an error of the workflow not having permissions to the needed data sources when it is executed as the Run-As account on your Server, instead of your permissioned user.

Potential quick fix:

There is a few levels at which you can set credentials, so if you need more information this can be a helpful post:

@AnupD Thanks for the reply! I think this may be my issue, however I'm a little confused. If I'm able to access the gallery locally (on designer) and run the workflow on gallery- how is the connection not shared on gallery? What do I need to do so the connection is shared there?
