  • Alteryx Connect
    • 2021.2 & 2021.3
  • Specific loaders this is known to affect include but are not limited to
    • MSSQL Metadata Loader
    • PowerBI Metadata Loader


Cause

 

The default timeout is being hit (default is 120).



Diagnosis

 

First, verify the credentials being used have been entered correctly and allow direct access via a browser.

 

Resolution

 

The Java code needs to be modified:  connect_dbstage_delete needs to have its "timeout" value adjusted higher when the database is very large.  Please contact Support for assistance.

Please verify that you can browse to (and log into) your Connect instance from the computer you're using to run the Loader before you resort to the steps in this article.  If you open a case with Support, it will be helpful if you include screenshots of the URL you used when configuring the Loader alongside a screenshot of a browser on that same machine able to access the Connect UI.  That will help rule out typos or transcription errors, which are less interesting, but vastly more common.
