Hello guys..

I made an unfortunate mistake. I salved an ODBC file as this: 

I don't have auto recoved file as it happened 4 months ago.

It was supposed to save the workflow because there I had an script and the the query on the SQL database.

When I try to open it, it opens like that! I want to open the workflow...

Hi @Joker_Hazard 

 

The file that you showing is an Alteryx database file .yxdb.  It only contains data.   The workflow that created is a separate file and will have an extension .yxmd or .yxwz

Hi @Joker_Hazard ,

 

Like @danilang mentioned, what you have open currently is the output from the workflow which is a yxdb(alteryx database) file.

 

Can you please check if there is a yxmd file or a .bak(backup) file that as created in the same folder where you initially saved the workflow.

 

Best,

Jagdeesh
