I am experiencing the same issue where the launch gp tool launches with the invalid input workspace. Did you ever find a resolution for this issue apart from manually navigating to the location?

Just wondering if you could share some further information about how you implemented this? I am having problems with the in_workspace parameter of this GP Tool. My in_workspace is an SDE database and we have created a standard connection on all user's machines. When I create the step I populatde the in_workspace parameter with Database Connections\RdsDev_RecAndPost.sde. This is the name of the Database Connection available on each user's machine. Unfortunately, when the user runs this step they always get a red x next to the Input Wokspace. I realize that all they need to do is navigate to this location, but my client wants them to just hit OK and have the step run.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I use the Reconcile Version GP Tool (with post argument enabled) as one step in a WMX workflow. Earlier in the workflow, I have a .mxd that launches with a Task Assistant workflow that has some steps that walks the user through topology. This TAM workflow is only semi-automated and relies on the user to know what to do.

I am not sure how to check topology automatically. I do, however, have a great tool that I use from the Data Reviewer extension that compares versions, so I compare each change in the user version to default. Data Reviewer also can check for some topology errors. This extension can be a bear, but the compare versions functionallity makes it worth it.
