Alteryx Workflow Hanging When Opening - AMP Engine Issue

[STEVE_JASTER]

I have Alteryx Designer 2023.1.  It has been very stable but when I tried opening a particular workflow yesterday, Alteryx Designer launched but the workflow hung with the spinning circle.  After 5 minutes, I used Windows Task Manager to close Alteryx Designer.  I tried this multiple time over two days.

In order to fix this issue, I had to do the following:

(1.) Open the workflow in Windows Explorer by right clicking on the workflow *.yxmd file & open in Notepad.

(2.) Change <RunWithE2 value="True" /> TO <RunWithE2 value="False" />

(3.) Save the file.

After I did that, I relaunched the workflow & it opened without issue.  The above steps turned off the AMP Engine & the workflow has been running properly.  The bummer is that I had to remove two Control Containers since they only work with the AMP Engine turned on.

This workflow ran well for the last 6 months so I am not sure what happened to it.  I have opened other workflows with the AMP Engine turned on & they are running as expected.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Did you resolve it in the same manner?  Thank you!

I have a similar issue now after upgrading to 2024.2. However, I was trying to open a workflow from gallery that had a google drive connector in the workflow. If I download it and try your trick it does allow me to open the workflow. But I can't run it, because the google drive tool requires the AMP engine on. If I turn the AMP engine on after opening the workflow, it just spins again. Seems like this might be some kind of bug with the AMP engine.
