Pack / Unpack Job Elements failing?
Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2024 8:51 pm
I'm working on moving workflows from a server running SWITCH 17 update 2 to 2022 Fall. For the current server, we have a few flows that send and receive files using locations on our network so we have use the Pack and Unpack Job elements for quite a few years with good success. On the workflow sending the files out, we are packing the job and then sending to a network folder. the next flow that accepts the job starts with a Submit Hierarchy element and then flows to an Unpack Job element.
I'm now running some of the workflows that ingest a job using the Submit Hierarchy and Unpack Job elements, but am receiving error messages as data is not being ingested as it was previously. I'm guessing that this may be a difference in how the new version of SWITCH handles packed jobs and hierarchy, but I'm not sure how to handle. The first attached screenshot show the Packing of a job and sending it to a folder, the second screenshot shows where we're picking up the file with a Submit Hierarchy and then Unpacking, and the third screenshot shows an error downstream where we're trying to access data within the packed job, but you can see that it is no longer available.
Any input is appreciated.
