Export Workflow that has Count Records Tool Without Errors

Hello,

I have a workflow that uses the count records tool as a check figure for our analysis.

When I try to export the workflow as a .yxzp package file, it says that "W:\_work\ca_zips.yxdb" is "Missing". If I continue and export with this missing, trying to open the resulting .yxzp file results in an error message that "Import had 1 error".

After clicking through the error warning and opening the workflow, the workflow itself does not actually have any errors and runs correctly. However, I am trying to publish this on our internal company website for use by other teams, so I would like the workflow to be able to be opened without any error warnings.

Is there a way to export a workflow that includes the Count Records tool as an Alteryx package file without anything "missing" or any error warnings when opening the resulting file?

Thanks in advance!

One way around this, though I appreciate not ideal, would be to replicate the functionality of this tool but with another tool, such as the summerize. By applying the count function on any of your columns you will get the same result.

The only way it will act different is if 0 records are ever expected too pass through, the count records would return zero, the summerize tool would return nothing.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I think I have a similar issue, I've not come across this before and I have been running workflows with random sample tools for ages now all of a sudden I'm getting an error because it cant find W:\_work\ca_zips.yxdb.

I didn't understand the solution here, Ideally I don't want to remove the tool as that's the main benefit for the workflow.

thanks
