Alteryx Sharepoint Output Connector No Response No Error Stuck

[oyes2704]

Dear Alteryx Community,

Had an Alteryx user running his first SharePoint Output workflow this year with the most recent driver upgrade 2.7.4 (Sharepoint Tools | Alteryx Marketplace).

Once we configured the tool and selected a file to read, we are trying to execute the workflow. It hangs for 10 minutes with only first 3 initial lines in the results message window.

We noticed that the user has over 10 different versions of the SharePoint Output tool.

Open the folder C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Alteryx\Tools and deleted all Sharepoint files except the ones below:

SharePointInput_2_7_4

SharePointOutput_2_7_4

Didn't have to restart Alteryx Designer - we just ran the same workflow and it executed successfully downloading the required data from the SharePoint. Gentle reminder: try to keep only the most recent versions of the drivers, connectors and tools.

Really happy we found a solution and hope it helps others.

Thanks,

Oly

Thanks for sharing this! I believe this would be super helpful as many users may forget to remove the old SharePoint tools. One thing is that you can also select the version from your tool if you dont want to remove the old version
