Unable to create .tde files while running workflows

[Deba93]

Hi everyone,

I have recently started facing issue while exporting data in .tde format. I have series of workflows that are chained together, and each workflow generates output in .csv, .tde and also directly publishes data to tableau server. However recently have started facing this issue

, wherein the workflow automatically ends due to below error:

Error: 2inv (59): Record #1: Tool #764: tdeserver64.exe is not on the environment path C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Tableau\tde\..\bin

Below is the screenshot of how data is being written to .tde files.

Regards,

Hey @Deba93,

To me, this looks like your Tableau environment has changed due to some reason (maybe a server update (there was a release 3 days ago) and now the tdeserver64.exe is missing.

May I ask why you don't use .hyper files and write them directly to the Tableau Server via the "Publish to Tableau Server" tool? Would have many advantages to your current process.

I second what @FrederikE says. It has to be something to do with your Tableau install as it can't find the exe anymore. Obviously we could be wrong but that looks like the most likely issue.

@JoshuaB @FrederikE well the strange part is if I open the individual workflow and run them, they are working perfectly fine. As soon as I am using the chained workflow (not an analytical app) it breaks and throws the above error. Looks strange to me as well
