Salesforce Output Tool Operation Partially Completed

I am writing 1 million records into Salesforce using the Salesforce Output tool. It's only 1 boolean column that I am trying to update (all from false to true). After running I get a warning (not an error) from the tool: update operation partially completed, part of the data isn't valid. There is no further information of how many failed or which ones. Thankfully I can check because I can re-read the input and find out which records are still false. Approximately 5% failed to update which is terrible. The data is definitely valid as it's a simple boolean field so it should not have failed. This is a pretty useless tool if it's unable to give any info on which records/fields failed to write through the output tool. I could handle a 5% fail rate if it at least provided that basic info so I can re-run and target those failed records again.

 

I am using Salesforce v5.1 tools. Alteryx version 2022.3 and ran with AMP engine.

Since Alteryx didn't want to develop the tool properly, here's the solution for using the API to read back a job ID to find which records have failed and why: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_asynch.meta/api_asynch/get_job_failed_results..... Here's a link to generate the access token to use for Authorization with Salesforce endpoints: https://www.cloudsciencelabs.com/blog/how-to-generate-an-access-token-to-access-salesforce-org.
