Server Error: FileUnbuffered: Error in GetOverlappedResult: The media is write protected

Goodday,

 

I created a Workflow that should ONLY read data from the database and create a yxdb file for it. 

I scheduled this workflow but unfortunately it didn't updated the yxdb file, instead I got this Error:

 

Tool #2: FileUnbuffered: Error in GetOverlappedResult: The media is write protected. (19)

 

I was wondering what this Error is. I know the FileUnbuffered error with not enough diskspace (112) but I've never seen this type of error before.

Does this error mean that Alteryx was trying to write to the database instead of reading from it?

Hi @MartWClimber 

 

As suggested in the post try to close some applications and free up RAM space (check your task manager) and try running again after that.

Hope this helps : )

Hi @atcodedog05,

 

I've seen the post but that post only talks about a Diskspace error.

in this case I'm looking for an explanation for the The media is write protect. (19) Error.

Hi @MartWClimber 

 

Was it working before and not working now or was it not working at all. And can you check that you have given the correct fullpath, filename, and extension properly.
