Hi @Deba93

The .yxi needs to be installed wherever the workflow is going to run. If you are scheduling on your desktop and getting an error, it could be that you need to install the .yxi as an administrator on your machine. To do this, right click to open Designer and select "Run as Administrator" and then install the .yxi again.

I saw that thread. My question is even if I schedule workflows from designer then also need to install the .yxi in alteryx server?

Hi @Deba93,

Sounds like the yxi is not installed on the server. See this thread related to another tool, but the underlying reason is likely the same: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Salesforce-Input-Error-Unable-to-resolve-plugin-Python/td-p/772601
