InboundNamedPipe GetOverlappedResult - Error writing output to .hyper

Question

I am having an error writing a .hyper file. I've tried solutions like using the 'Select' tool and changing 'String' to 'V_WString', but it still doesn't work. This is giving me problems in the 'PublishToTableauServer.yxmc' tool, specifically in the 'TableauServer.OutputDataConditionally.yxmc' macro.

The specific message error is 'The Designer x64 reported: InboundNamedPipe GetOverlappedResult: The pipe has been ended.'

This error is occurring when updating from version 2020.4 to version 2021.3

Hi @clmc9601

Thanks for all your comments, I have tried all the recommendations but none works in this case.
The solution that has worked for me has been to change the 'Publish to Tableau Server' tool to the 'Tableau Output' tool.

Hi @GabrielCM,

Hmm, interesting that it changes with the version. Looks like previous users have encountered similar errors in two circumstances:

Hello @clmc9601, thanks for your comments.

In this case the name is dynamic, it is created in the folder '[Engine.TempFilePath]' and the name is indicated by the user.
However, I also tried creating a new file with a different name and it didn't work for me. Actually tried several options to create this file, but it always gives the same error, this only happens when I update to 2021.3, it doesn't happen when I go back to 2020.4.
