File Upload error for csv file

Question

Hi Guys

I was working on Alteryx Server application and encountered an issue while trying to upload csv file having unicode characters.

I was receiving the below error message after choosing the file from the location and before running the application.

When I tried changing the extension from csv to txt and it works .

Also attaching the workflow and sample data for reference

Also the app works without any issues in Desktop version also

Sample_csv_upload_failed.csv

AlteryxServer_App.yxzp

Hi @IraWatt

I tried with UTF-8, UTF-16 and still the same issue.

When I remove the first two characters the file upload was done.

Any idea about limitations in Alteryx server having ASCII character in csv file

@anuninan07 Very strange that it works on desktop but not server. Have you tried messing round with the code page in the input config? if its Latin I would try UTF-16 or a few of the others see if that makes any difference
