Issue
Alteryx enables users to connect using Python based connectors, and to save, schedule and run the corresponding workflows on the Alteryx Gallery. When these Python-based Connector tools are used within the workflow especially on the Alteryx Server, a user might encounter a variety of errors, that can appear when the workflow is saved(or published) to, scheduled, or run on the Alteryx Gallery. This could also be caused while connecting from the Designer.
Please reach out to your Sales Engineer or Account Executive, should you encounter any of the below errors, while using the Python based Connector tools.
