Tableau Output Error: Tool #XX: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

Hi all,

In Alteryx 2021.3, I'm finding that the Tableau Output tool isn't working in the Scheduler. (not Gallery!)

The workflow publishes fine when run manually. But when running on schedule, I'm getting the error message "Error: Tool #XX: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'" - after some searching it sounds like this is an issue with credentials in the Connection Manager?

I've hunted through User and Controller settings and set SDK to "Allow" but still seeing the same problem.

Did you ever find a solution?

Unfortunately we did not find a solution. We had to revert our workflows to the old Tableau Publish tool as we found other issues that was problematic for us regarding "batched" output. Essentially the Tableau Output tool would write in batches of e.g. 500K records over a period of time (up to 30Min in our use case) and this caused users to see "partially" updated reports for 50% of the day for hourly updates.

I have the same problem - bumping it in gope to get solution other than reverting to the old tool.

let us know if you get a solution

i discovered that if you have more than one output you have to block until done to get it working. so basically whoever designed this tool made it so only ONE can run at a time.

i also discovered that if you put a block node to get it to not error the tools do not Load data. Soo this was fun...

I get this error from the Designer as well. Any ideas what the issue could be? One of my colleague us able to run it though. Could it be a tool installation issue?
