Salesforce ODBC does not work as expected in Alteryx

PeterPerera — Fri, 26 Apr 2024 13:44:54 GMT

We are trying to setup the Salesforce ODBC and use in our workflows running in Designer and Gallery. We expected it to behave similar to the Snowflake connection setup we have done.

We want the workflow created to run in DEV to be able to run in PRD without modifying the connection info in workflow and correctly take the connection information from data connections created in gallery.

Currently the snowflake works as required but Salesforce get "Alias can't be resolved" error.

Please help to get this working.

Additional Info :

PRD Gallery - Data Connection

SnowflakeDI-PRD odbc:DSN=SnowflakeSDI;UID=Service-Altryx-DIPRD;PWD=__EncPwd1__

Salesforce_NextGen-PRD odbc:DSN=Salesforce_NextGen;UID=alteryx-service@domain.com;PWD=__EncPwd1__;SecurityToken=__EncPwd2__

DEV Gallery - Data Connection

SnowflakeDI-DEV odbc:DSN=SnowflakeDI;UID=service-Altryx-DIDEV;PWD=__EncPwd1__

Salesforce_NextGen-DEV odbc:DSN=Salesforce_NextGen;UID=alteryx-serviceDEV@domain.com;PWD=__EncPwd1__

A solution was found. The issue was the system alias file within server did not have the same connection info. So we opened the Designer in the server as admin user and created a system connection using same connection string. After that all worked fine.

Thx
