When using my Write file procesaction (connector) it returns the error message: “Source file (pointer) was provided with an invalid value”.

But the link that is shown in the error message is the correct file location.

Also the procesflow parameter that is being used as in input value, is using the same domain and file storage of the column that is being used to store the file which I am trying to read.

Does anyone know what could be causing this error message?

Hi Arjan,

The Read file action expects an absolute path for the Source file (pointer) input variable and the provided path must be in the storage location configured for the Read file action.
If the path falls outside the storage location for the process actions, this error will be logged.

 

storage location configuration (read file)

 

We might be able to improve the error to make this easier to notice.
