Error: Unable to Read Data on Alteryx Server with Python Script

I am experiencing a recurring error when executing Python scripts in my workflows on the Alteryx Server, which does not occur when run locally. The error message is "Error: unable to read data" related to file access on the server. Here are some details:

  • Error : "Error: unable to read data" "ERROR: reading input data '#1'"
  • Workflow Details: The workflows that involve Python scripts fail specifically on the server, while they execute perfectly on my local machine.
  • Server Configuration: The error started appearing after April; before that, everything worked fine.
  • Attempts to Resolve:
    • Ensured the file paths are correctly specified and accessible on the server.
    • Checked file and directory permissions.
    • Confirmed that no other processes are locking the files during execution.
  • Local Environment:
    • Numpy version: 1.19.1
    • Pandas version: 1.1.0
  • Server Environment:

    • Numpy version: 1.24.4
    • Pandas version: 1.5.2

Could anyone please help identify why these Python-involved workflows fail to read data files on the server but not locally? Any suggestions or similar experiences shared would be highly appreciated!
