This tool uses a .yxi file format. A .yxi file is a package that includes an Alteryx Tool and all of its dependencies zipped into a single file. When this file is imported into Alteryx, the tool is added to the tool palette in the category specified by the tool.
When sharing a workflow that uses a .yxi tool, the tool is not included and must be installed by the recipient.
Hi @QuantumViridis , is it possible that you have multiple versions of sharepoint connector installed and for some reason this is not the latest 2.1.0? You can find out by investigating the xml of the workflow.
Hi @mmonzon , we tried to replicate the issue, but are not successful - when we create a View filtering records and then select the View in the Sharepoint connector, we do get the results set limited only to the filtered ones. Could you please raise this with Customer support at support@alteryx.com ?
I couldn't get the registry key solution to work when Alteryx suggested that approach. I upload any SharePoint applications directly from Alteryx Designer on the Server machine after the SharePoint tool has been authenticated from there.
@AlteryxProducts @VojtechT Is there any way the SharePoint Output tool can output to an Excel file with multiple sheets?
Are other tables, with no special characters read OK? Try updating the special character column with a regular character to see if it is picked up. Otherwise another code page might also help. If not this may be a bug, I would report it to Alteryx Support. Cheers.
Can we put DCM back as optional?
DCM is not as stable and forcing us to use it has caused our Organization to be unable to use it past 2.1.0
The latest version, 2.4.2 wipes out the ability to create a DCM connection. When you try to create one with this version of the tool, the dropdown list for type of connection is blank on an input tool.
This article is excellent but out of date as there is new version February 2024:
