Ok, so I had a problem the other day when trying to output xml using “xml combine and write”, which came about because I couldn’t get the node to work with relative paths. I’m not saying that this is the problem here, but maybe my solution could help in this instance (or maybe not! lol )
What I did was add a couple of nodes into the workflow. “Extract Context Properties” and “Java Edit Variable”. The first of those nodes gets the workflow “context” from which the Java Edit variable can then build a path that is relative to the workflow, but which will actually then be supplied to the subsequent node as an “absolute path”.
I’m not saying this is the proper solution to this, but it might work for you and give you a breathing space to find out what is wrong. I’ll pop an example on the hub in a moment, and link to it.
In the Java Edit variable you modify the java code to give it the file name that you want, e.g. MyOutputFile.xlsx
It then pops two flow variables into the flow:
outputFile
outputFileURL (which is outputFile in a url format beginning file:/ )
You can then choose whichever one of these works as the flow variable for your output file in your subsequent xls formatter. Maybe that will work on the server!
