Parallel Block until done /Unable to create backup error

Hello everyone,

For about 1 week I am trying to figure out how I can cross over an error and I mixed up all possible solutions that I know and I still get an error message when I try to generate 4 different sheets in the same excel file. The error is :

Unable to create backup of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\EXTRAS BRD output.xlsx to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\EXTRAS BRD output.xlsx.bak: An unexpected network error occurred. (59)

Can you please help if you can offer any solutions.

P.S: First time I generated the data without Union them and after split them per sheet and it doesn't worked.

Thank you in advance

@gabrielvilella sorry for my late reply

The Crew Macros are installed on the server as I understood, but I chose to do it a little bit different: I made a union off all the data and after a spitted them after a certain column with block until done, and even with this didn't worked so I decided to generate the sheets with problem twice and for 1/2 weeks is working without any problems. I still have the error sometimes, but the sheets are generated.

Hey @mihaicom20, does this work on your local Designer? I see that the error is from a run in the Gallery. Also, are you using the AMP engine or not?

@gabrielvilella on my local designer is working without any problems. When I'm running it from Alteryx Server me and my colleagues are getting this error. I am not using the AMP engine.

I just changed the settings, enabling in AMP and I get more errors: (Server and Local )

Are the Crew macros installed on the Server? If they are, you might want to create your own parallel block until done. Here is a nice vide from Marquee Crew showing how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUf_fL38Q-M
