Alteryx Needs to Test Shared Server Inputs/Timeouts More

[Eli_B]

It doesn't seem that Alteryx tests data that isn't on the same hard drive. If my data is located locally, Alteryx works great. If my data is located on a shared server, OMG it takes forever for it to do anything. Simply clicking off a tool onto the canvas can cause a 30-60 second freeze/wait. I literally spend about 1-3hrs per DAY waiting for Alteryx to simply load a tool view. 2024.2 is the worse so far, I have to wait for it to do anything.

It seems Alteryx is getting worse and worse at this, processing non-database data that isn't located locally on hard drive. My idea is to get better at this.

Hello @Eli_B ,

I happened to see your post here and then just saw this other post related to slowness encountered with 2024.2. 
I have no idea if your issues involve the SharePoint Input tool or another tool that may benefit from adjusting the default location to use the suggested Engine.TempFilePath but wanted to make sure you see this post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/Making-Your-SharePoint-Input-Tool-Work-Faster/ba-p/140...
