Help fixing Broken Macro: Errors occurring after Alteryx Job was autosaved +recovered

I have a macro that I use to dynamically update + execute a series of UPDATE statements in a Postgresql database. My laptop died and both the macro file + the workflow using the macro were auto-recovered when I reopened Alteryx. The job now returns errors when it gets to the macro.

 

1) The first error (which I believe I fixed) was something along the lines of referencing a control parameter that didn't exist. It was trying to hit Control Parameter (12), so I checked the macro and saw that it should be Control Parameter (7). Updated the XLM Config and that error isn't being returned any more so it seems fixed, but please let me know if I did something wrong here.

 

2) The error it's returning now is the below string, I'm not sure what to do with this one.

 

The Designer x64 reported: <EngineSettings> tag for ToolID="115" does not specify a plugin entry point and does not give a macro

 

 Screenshots of tool configs + annotations included in case they're helpful.

Hey @tobyrne121 Please check this out if this will be helpful. I see someone has mentioned the same error in this post as well - https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Ideas/Repair-Macro-Path/idi-p/140914/page/...

Hi TUSHAR050392, thanks for the response. The "Fix Broken Macro" dialogue mentioned in that post is in v2023.2 but unfortunately I'm on

v2022.1 :( Do you know of any other options?

upload your workflow. Can you confirm that tool 115 is your macro on your main canvas?
