Error: Input Data (2): Data is corrupt after snappy::Uncompress

Question

Hi Community,

Recently I've encountered an issue where my input data in yxdb format suddenly produced an error which stated "Data is corrupt after snappy::Uncompress" although it was working just fine the minute before. My colleague have also tested the workflow and it runs perfectly on their own devices. This issue happened occasionally but not as often.

I have tried replace the input with a new one, changing the file path and restart my designer but nothing seems to work. I'm wondering, have anyone experienced this issue before and knows how it occurred? The current Alteryx Designer I'm using is version 2023.2.1.51 with Patch: 1.

Thank you!

I've tried click on it in File explorer and it works just fine. This thing happened occasionally although there were no changes made to the workflow. I guess the device I'm using could also be the factor. Thank you for the input though! I will be sure to reach out to Mission Control about this.

It must be something with the data stored in the file then - snappy is the compression method Alteryx uses to store data in the .yxdb format.

Can you double click on it in File Explorer and see if it loads? Otherwise I would reach out to Mission Control so you can get direct help.
