Workflow dissociate from the Server after a save with a too long validation

Question

Hello,

My company is running on Alteryx 24.1 and with Alteryx Server. Recently a problem liked with the saving of the Workflows on the server occured.

In the case of the error while saving "Validation is taking longer than expected", the Workflow then "dissociate" from the Server. Which means, if you save again your workflow, the save window for the server (with name of the WF, the studio, etc) won't open, the WF will be saved locally (in the temp file of Alteryx on the computer).

It happens only with validation taking too long and both when we wait for the validation to actually finish (by checking the WF server page) or not.

This problem could lead to mistakes in development if the owner doesn't notice that the saving was not the server type one.

I am open to advice and solution

Tahnk you very much in advance

Thank you for your answer.

To clarify, all users are in 24.1 Alteryx Designer (the capture is older and just for presentation of the error i am talking of).

The validation is indeed continuing on the server and finishing there with no other problem. So it's just the WF on the designer side that dissociate but just the workflow, the server is still accessible to open another WF for example.

The validation taking too long is only occuring for a few workflows that are quite huge. Uncheck the validation might indeed be a temporary solution to avoid mistakes and waiting for a solution/answer from Alteryx.

Thank you very much for your answer

Hunch --- the user with the message has an earlier version than 2024.1. They are using a python/connector tool which uses python. It uses 3.8. Server is now on 3.10. Server says this is yucky.
