This Error Event is part of Set File Attributes Events.
Event ID · 59400
Overview
This error indicates that the Set File Attributes Action failed to set the specified attributes on a file or folder.
Cause
Possible causes include an invalid file or folder name or path, a file or folder that does not exist, insufficient permissions for the user account running Automation Workshop, or an inaccessible or read-only local or network location.
The file system may also not support the requested attribute. For example, encrypted file attributes depend on file system and Windows edition support.
Event example
See an example of the Could not set attributes on file Event message:
- Task "Quarterly Sales Summary" Action "Set File Attributes" could not set attributes on file "C:\docs\*.xlsx". Problem with path: "C:\docs\confirm\". Access is denied. [os:5; aw:13]
Solution
Verify whether specified path or folder name contains characters that are not allowed in folder name. Check if specified file or folder is present in specified path.
Login with administrator account to set appropriate permissions. To set permissions, open Security tab in specified folder properties, choose user account on which Automation Workshop is executed and mark necessary checkboxes. Verify if specified drive and location is accessible and is not read only.
SMB signing required?
The device hosting the share may not support SMB signing or may not have it enabled. Enable SMB signing on the server or NAS if possible. Alternatively, the requirement can be relaxed on the affected computer, but this reduces protection and should only be used on trusted networks.
