Cannot create new files using output data tool

kams01

I recently updated to version 2023.1.1.123

this issue is regardless of output file type (excel vs DB). The below example is with using Alteryx DB which recreates the DB every time the workflow is ran

Then I started a workflow created in a previous version (last version of 2022). The workflow ran fine until the end where it is supposed to update a DB. The workflow stated the DB was updated but the file did not contain the new data. So I decided to delete the DB so it would rebuild it. It did not, gave me an error that "the system cannot find the file specified"

So then I decided to recreate the output tool, added the file name etc. and hit ok. Hoping it would just rebuild the file as that is what its supposed to do anyway. Once I reran the workflow, I keep getting the following error:

File not found. Check the file name and try again.

Why is it looking for a file if the file does not exist? Did anything change in 2023 version of Alteryx?

@kams01 for the output data tool, in the tool configuration window when you click Set Up a Connection, choose Files then Select file in the top-right. Choose the destination where you want to save it, then in the File name section, type in the name of the file you want to create, then click save (see screenshot).
