Issue with Google Big Query Input and Output using a service account file

EMaurel

Hello folks,

 

I'm running into an issue when trying to leverage the service account authentication mode within the google big query component.

Whenever I open a workflow that has been saved by another user, I consistently encounter the following error message (see screenshots attached).

 

We have attempted to utilize a shared folder and have also tried using the exact same file path on our respective machines, but the issue persists.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem, and if so, how did you manage to collaborate effectively on the workflow?

 

Thanks

Emilien

You need the JSON Service Account file. Where did you store it? 

In addition, do you have the SIMBA ODBC for GBQ in your ODBC Data sources?

In addition, I believe the GBQ Input and Output tool for Alteryx has been deprecated. You can use the normal Input and Output tools but connect to a data source instead of a file.

You can connect IN-DB with the SIMBA driver - but I guess my first question would be - why are you sharing a workflow with a .json connection versus an oauth individual connection? 

 

Also on an IN-DB workflow - metadata tends to need to be refreshed - that requires running to setup. I would expect your workflow would require being run when ported to a new system to reset the connection.
