  • 1.  Unable to list out files from Windows Path

    Posted Jul 05, 2018 11:14 AM

    Hello All,

     

    I have created a VARA.FILELIST object and want to pull the file list from a certain location. When I preview that no files are shown even though files are present in the same location.

     

    Note: There are no dynamic values present in the object.

     

    Thanks,

    Srujan.

    Did it show any error? Can you capture an image of your issue?

    Hey Srujan,

     

    Are you adding a wildcard to the path name? It is required to specify filenames in the object. I would try the following:

     

    For example C:\temp\*

    I suspect the userid that the VARA.FILELIST is running as lacks authority to view the target folder.  This happens to me all the time and the solution is to apply a grant to the target folder.     It never throws an error for this type of problem.

    Hi All,

     

    This issue has already been resolved by adding wildcard in the Path field.

     

    Thanks,
