Cannot Overwrite Calgary File

Question

Hello,

I am getting an error:

01:04:35.944 - Error - ToolId 6: Unable to rename file.cydb" to "file.cydb.bak"

I am using the Calgary loader with the setting Load base Calgary Table and/or 1 of more standard indexes. It's weird because I am just trying to overwrite the file. Has anyone experienced this or know how to resolve?

Thank you

@Link86 , based on the error message, it looks like you have a ".bak" extension which is a backup file type that is specific to the Alteryx platform (https://help.alteryx.com/20221/designer/alteryx-file-types#:~:text=A%20backup%20file%20is%20created%20as%20soon%20as,proprietary%20language%20used%20by%20Alteryx%20for%20reporting%20purposes.)

Try running the workflow again, but with the extension just being ".cydb"
