Publish to Tableau macro file allocation error

Has anyone else seen something like this

Error - ToolId 6: Tool #592: Error creating the file "C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\Engine\Engine_8384_2c06d9db777a4b948ad0a53442e8b519_\Engine_8384_3c3f18d614f24efe9b549d63572b06a5_.tmp": The system cannot find the path specified.

when using the Publish to Tableau macro?

If so, how did you fix it?

I believe we narrowed this issue down to a Windows OS issue with paged/non-paged memory pool management most likely caused by another program running on the server not properly releasing resources. The (theoretically) offending program was removed and we haven't seen this error again after rebooting the machine ~10 days ago.

Hi,

As the error says, it cant find the temporary directory - can you check whether it exists on the server? Could you perhaps send the whole log?

Best regards,

Daniel

Hey @jgreene

Did this get you to an answer that solved your problem? If yes, would you mind marking this one as solved (to include this in the knowledge base) - or if there are still open questions, feel free to reply, and we can work together to find an answer that gets you where you need to be.

Thanks @jgreene, have a good weekend
Sean
