Access to ConnectionProfile.xml is Denied

asked on April 22, 2016

I have having issues in Workflow creating local profiles in the Options menu so I can have repository information available to create conditional starting rules.

Workflow 9.1 and it is a server I don’t work on that often so I have no idea if this is a new problem or has always been this way.

Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what to start asking my Server team? If I try to create the profile from my location install of Workflow Designer I can. It is only when I am directly on the servers that I am getting this error.

Thanks.

Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\Laserfiche\WF\Profiles\ConnectionProfiles.xml' is denied.

Exception

System.UnauthorizedAccessException:

Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\Laserfiche\WF\Profiles\ConnectionProfiles.xml' is denied.

This happens if the current Windows user does not have rights to write to C:\ProgramData\Laserfiche\WF\Profiles. By default, Workflow tries to save connection profiles as "common profiles" available for anybody on the machine. You can create the profile as a user profile instead by clicking "Manage Connections" on the Workflow Profile Manager dialog. Change your drop-down list from "Common Profiles" to "User Profiles" and add the new one. This way it will be saved to your user folder instead (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Laserfiche\WF\Profiles).

When saving it as a User Profile, does it also try to save to Common at the same time? I created as a User Profile but got the same error. But when I went into the starting rule, I could choose the profile.

Thanks.

No, it doesn't. Was the error referencing the same exact path?
