Salesforce ODBC does not work as expected in Alteryx

PeterPerera

Hi
 
We are trying to setup the Salesforce ODBC and use in our workflows running in Designer and Gallery.  We expected it to behave similar to the Snowflake connection setup we have done. 
 
We want the workflow created to run in DEV to be able to run in PRD without modifying the connection info in workflow and correctly take the connection information from data connections created in gallery.
 
Currently the snowflake works as required but Salesforce get "Alias can't be resolved" error.
 
Please help to get this working.
 
Additional Info :
 
PRD Gallery - Data Connection
 
SnowflakeDI-PRD    odbc:DSN=SnowflakeSDI;UID=Service-Altryx-DIPRD;PWD=__EncPwd1__
 
Salesforce_NextGen-PRD odbc:DSN=Salesforce_NextGen;UID=alteryx-service@domain.com;PWD=__EncPwd1__;SecurityToken=__EncPwd2__
 
 
DEV Gallery - Data Connection
 
SnowflakeDI-DEV odbc:DSN=SnowflakeDI;UID=service-Altryx-DIDEV;PWD=__EncPwd1__
 
Salesforce_NextGen-DEV odbc:DSN=Salesforce_NextGen;UID=alteryx-serviceDEV@domain.com;PWD=__EncPwd1__

A solution was found. The issue was the system alias file within server did not have the same connection info. So we opened the Designer in the server as admin user and created a system connection using same connection string. After that all worked fine.

 

Thx
