When using Dynamic Input with databases, the Database may be returning errors or other information that the tool cannot parse into a dataset.

 

It would be great if we could see the 'raw' response from the database somehow, as this might provide insight into why we are not getting the expected results. 

 

If the tool could output an optional error column that has the unparsed response from the database server, it might allow us to debug the problem ourselves. 

 

If the returned data is actually a string response from the database, but one that is flawed in some way, we might still be able to parse data out of it to 'ride over' the error.

Configuration window - Add feature to zoom in or out of the configuration window similar to the canvas.  There is alot going on in the Configuration window and it would be helpful (especially for those of us with eyesight challenges) to be able to zoom in/out similar to the Canvas.

For heavy workflows (e.g. reading massive amount of data, processing it and storing large datasets through in db tools in Cloudera), a random error is sometime generated:  'General error: Unexpected exception has been caught'

 

This seems due to Kerberos ticket expiration and the related setting may not be modifiable by the Alteryx developer 'especially when GPO). Suggestion is to enhance the indb tools in such a way that they are able to automatically renew the Kerberos ticket like other applications do.
