Amazon S3 account

Created a binary account of type AWS S3 and entered a label, access key id and secret key during this time
( it did not prompt me for user id )
It validated succesfully
When i tried to use it in a directory browser and provided the account and then the following path
alteryx-quarterly-data
( it show up in cloudberry explorer for amazon as > root > alteryx-quarterly-data)
I also tried root/alteryx-quarterly-data and also simply root)

it failed for all the above with similar messages
Failure: aws_s3 cannot be applied to root/, Reason: aws_s3 cannot be applied to root/, Resolution: Please use an AWS S3 account for the S3 scheme.

    As suggested in the documentation for configuring S3, you need to use the following pattern:

    s3:///mybucket/testFolder

    we encountered similar error. S3 pattern is as specified. It worked well in QA but when deployed into Prod, is giving us this error. Any insights is highly appreciated.

      @rajendraj would you be able to share your account properties, snap settings and error message please?

        I was able to identify the error.
        The pipeline had S3 parameters until the csv formatter step and while writing the file to S3, it was giving the error. I had to once again enter the S3 location values in the File Writer snap and things started working.
