I am modifying an analytical app.
All my changes are upstream.
After I finished my changes I realize a downstream union tool is no longer receiving input from a preceding table tool.
Here is the surrounding context, none of which I have modified.
This shows what the union tool displays
The original app shows "table" here instead of being empty.
Now, when I run this problematic analytical app and browse the offending table #2 it shows a valid output - data seems to be passing through it fine. So I don't understand why the union tool shows empty
I have tried:
Running table #2 to a newly inserted union tool. I get the same behavior.
Replacing union tool's xml in newly updated app with xml from original app. No change.
Replacing table #2's xml in newly updated app with xml from original app. No change.
Copying a large chunk of tools including everything in the screenshots from production app to newly updated app and rewiring connections. This actually made things worse - even fewer tables show up in the union tool.
Any ideas?
Can't share workbook due to privacy.
Thanks.
I'm sure you already tried this, but just in case . . . have you tried inserting a browse tool after that 2nd table and made sure something actually comes out of it?
Yes, it shows output in a browse tool. AND this can be confirmed because the output from that table actually flows into a text tool above which succeeds in showing up in the union tool, as you can see in the pictures.
Alteryx can be so weird sometimes.
Very strange. I'm at a loss. I know sometimes I've had to copy entire modules (ctl+a then ctl+c), close and restart Alteryx, then paste everything into a blank canvas to get things to work and be configured correctly, but I think you said you tried that as well.
