Error while executing plugin: W3223 : Copying file --- Error code 3: Impossibile trovare il percorso specificato

We made a very simple workflow where we:

  • look for new PDF files from an Input Folder plugin
  • Use Alambic to check pages rotation
  • Send them to two different folders

The Send to Folder plugin sometimes throws the following error, almost randomly. In a set of 100 files just one or two go into error and not always.

ERROR: 05:00:50.673 [0016] W3001 : Error while executing plugin: W3223 : Copying file C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\Spool\99.tmp\job010GEJ5RW05671A3DE923C3.dat to \\<redacted network path>\<redacted filename>.pdf failed: Error code 3: Impossibile trovare il percorso specificato.

What could be the issue and how could we fix it?

We’ve covered this topic a number of times in these forums. Essentially, the way to resolve this is to stop using UNC paths (i.e. \\myServer\mySharedFolder) and use mapped drives instead.

Search the forums for “UNC”, “shared folders” or “mapped drives” and you will find plenty of information.
