Cannot Overwrite Calgary File

Link86

Hello,

I am getting an error:

 

01:04:35.944 - Error - ToolId 6: Unable to rename file.cydb" to "file.cydb.bak"

 

I am using the Calgary loader with the setting Load base Calgary Table and/or 1 of more standard indexes. It's weird because I am just trying to overwrite the file. Has anyone experienced this or know how to resolve?

 

Thank you

@Link86 , based on the error message, it looks like you have a ".bak" extension which is a backup file type that is specific to the Alteryx platform (https://help.alteryx.com/20221/designer/alteryx-file-types#:~:text=A%20backup%20file%20is%20created%....)

 

Try running the workflow again, but with the extension just being ".cydb"

 

Here is a "how to" from the Community that also may help you: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/How-To-Create-a-Calgary-Database/ta...
