Error message while testing the Analytical App

[Rvelan12]

Hi Community,

I get the following message once after editing & running an Analytical App in the Alteryx Designer.

Error running Event #1: Func 'curl_easy_perform' failed, ret = 6, desc = Couldn't resolve host name

And also it opens the Debug workflow.

After making the changes in the debug workflow, I am not able to save it.

Need advice to resolve the issue.

I would look at your configuration settings for the Event being run - I am assuming it's an email event. Click on the white space of your Canvas and go over to the Workflow Configuration, selecting Events and editing the event from there

Also any changes need to be made to the original app, not the debug workflow, if you want to run the corrected app as an app. You can run the Debug workflow as a normal workflow if you've made changes to it, but they will not reconcile together

Hi Alexnajm,

It's not an Email Event.

I edited the existing Analytical App to change the input Data connection details. This input is being connected to two Action tools to provide the input values by the user as inputs through interface tools. These values are not picked up by the input tools to run the query.

I shared the screen shots here for more clarifications.

While testing the App, it gives the below.

The error is indicating it is some sort of event... can you show us?

[alexnajm]

I’ll also add to it by saying the specific error shown usually relates to email config issues, so that knowledge along with the mention of “event” in the error message indicates something with an event. If you could show us a pic of the Event config to prove us wrong, then we can look at what else may be causing it.

your action tool should be editing the sql value in your input data tool -> this look like it's editing something in your connection setting in input data? I can't really tell because it's kind of blurred out --- the short is you don't want to be touching your connection details here - you should be modifying the query/sql.

[Rvelan12]

The values which i pass through the Interface tools to the Input tool does not pass through the Action tool.

Action tool does not edit the input tool's SQL with the value which it receives from the interface tool from the user.

This is where I face the problem.

It looks like you have selected “password” instead of “file” in your action - since you are trying to edit the whole connection string plus SQL, change it to file and at least it’ll be editing the correct place 

however I agree with @apathetichell - you should only really be touching the sql clauses, not the connection string. So look at only replacing that portion of the specific string instead of the whole connection (unless there’s a reason)
