My workflow doesn't finish when I run it via gallery

Hi, 

 

I have a workflow which is using run command tool like this:

 

1.png

 

.bat file looks like this:

 

 

2_bat.png

 

.vbs file looks like this:

 

3_vbs.png

 

And the macro in the .xlsm file

 

4_xlsm.png

 

This workflow is using macro to combine all excel files to one file.

 

When I run it locally then everything is working cool. But when I ran it via gallery, the workflow create the result file everything is looking good, but the workflow is on the "running" status and it is not finishing.

 

Do you have any ideas why ?

 

Thanks !

Are your arguments hard-coded in the BAT file, and repeated again in the Run command field for Command Arguments (optional)?

 

When I was trying to run a Powershell script from the After Run event, the two tips below helped me.  I know you're trying to run VBS, but maybe try:

 

Working Directory [Optional]:  leave this value blank, to avoid an error

 

 

One of these instructions is correct, can't remember which one:

 

1)  For all folder paths: If you are using a UNC path (beginning with \\), use “\\?\” instead of “\\”, like this:

    • “\\?\UNCPath\MySubFolder\Save_Alteryx_Log_File.ps1”
    • "\\?\UNCPath\MyLogFileFolder"

or

2)

  • For the path to the Powershell script only: If you are using a UNC path (beginning with \\), use “\\?\” instead of “\\”, like this:
    • “\\?\UNCPath\MySubFolder\Save_Alteryx_Log_File.ps1
  • For other paths/parameters in the Run Command text, continue to use \\ only, like this: 
    • "\\UNCPath\MyLogFileFolder"

Hi @ChrisTX

 

I tried to implement your solutions, but unfortunately it doesn't work on my side :(
