Error to save a temp file in the server through download tool

Hi everyone,

 

Would someone had face an issue with a workflow working in the Designer and not working when published into the company's Alteryx Server?

 

I have a workflow which connects to a website through a download tool and save a csv file in a temp location. Then the Dynamic input access that location, read the file and save the data (or browse it).

 

Everything runs smoothly at the Designer but I get some errors when try to publish and run from the server:

I appreciate all help.

 

Cheers,

 

Rodrigo

What I'd recommend is using an actual defined path to save the file instead. You can configure this in your Text Input tool and then use it in both the Download tool and the Dynamic Rename tool to reference the file. Make sure that you use a shared network drive that the server user can access and a UNC path of the file location.
