Error with Output to TAB file (Error: 3)

Hello,

 

I'm trying to output some spatial data to a TAB (MapInfo Table) file, but I am receiving a very generic error that I need some help with. See below workflow and error message:

Anyone have any idea why this may be happening or what it means? I need to output to some sort of standard spatial file, and I am not sure why the workflow is failing to write to the TAB file. I have tried writing to a shapefile instead, but those are limited to 2 GB in Alteryx. I am not aware of any size restriction on TAB files, so I don't believe that is the issue here. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help or tips.

Having the same question. Partially solved the problem by restricting the output number of records. Still, my quest requires me to do a single file, so looking forward to the actual solution of this. Though you could try to divide them into several files to output.

Hi - see link for resolution: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Error-with-Output-to-TAB-File-Error-3/...

 

Not sure why I have two separate posts on this - my mistake!

Cool no problem. Yeah I tried this but not working for me. Guess it was because the data frame is too big for Alteryx to output into one file.
