"Pipeline Override for this folder and actions are not available for the default file location" Ben Bimber  2010-06-24 10:45

There is a subfolder in the project that contains a files webpart. when i hit the admin button on that webpart, i get this message:

There is a Pipeline Override for this folder and actions are not available for the default file location.
Customize this web part to use the pipeline location using the customize web part button

I dont think there is a pipeline override here. To check that, I went to the pipeline module, and hit setup. This folder inherits from the parent. I went to the parent of this folder, which also inherits from parent (project root).

Is this message telling me something different than what I think it is? Is the error message actually telling me 'you can't set admin for this fileset b/c that is inherited?'

specific example is here:
https://xnight.primate.wisc.edu:8443/labkey/project/WNPRC/WNPRC_Units/Research_Services/Assay_Services/begin.view?

our site should have a file root, which is inherited throughout. i may have missed some folder, but i dont think anything has an override. either that or i'm not looking in the right spot.

i thought a similar issue came up once before, but i cannot find a thread on it. i did see this issue which sounds similar, but there's not a lot of detail:

thanks.

Ben,
The best way to determine if there is a pipeline override for a project or folder is to

1) Goto to Admin Console
2) Click on Files
3) Goto the Summary View for File Directories section

Now you can go through the folder tree and look at the fileroot (@files) and pipelineroot (@pipeline) settings for each project or folder. If the default column is marked as "false" then you have specified a pipeline or file root override

Using this Admin page, can you check if there is a pipeline override set for your project or folder?

that's a very useful interface. there is a pipeline override.

For future reference, we also have a troubleshooting doc page for file roots and pipeline overrides. Brian's suggestion is covered there, along with other tips for troubleshooting.

ok. i usually try to look through the doc before submitting questions here, but i could probably do a little more.

You do an exceptionally good job of looking through our docs before submitting questions. This doc content was only updated last week. :)
