Chained Application and Temporary File Creation in Gallery

Hello everyone,

 

We are encountering issues in creating a temporary file to chain together applications that will be published in the gallery.

 

Can some one help with how to create the outputs as a temporary file to chain the workflows together?

 

Currently, we can run the chained app with a single input, but we are unable to run it with another file since the outputs for each app are not overwriting/updating.

 

We have tried the %temp% naming convention and it was not working.

 

Thanks in advance!!

Hi @eras2

 

If you are looking at creating 'temp' files in the output and input tools I would check out @DanM article on this topic.

 

The important part is where the server temp settings are set up too. If this is a private gallery you can find this on the system settings of the server.

 

I just set up a changed app like this:
