Connect 2024.1 Release Notes

Upgrade Considerations

For best results, we strongly recommend that you download the same version of Server.

Insights End of Life

With the 2024.1 release, the Insight tool has reached end-of-life and is no longer available in Alteryx Server. In Designer, the tool has also been deprecated. However, if you still need to access the tool, right-click the Designer tool palette and select Show Deprecated Tools.

Please note that the Insight tool's Preview functionality is no longer available in Designer due to compatibility issues with the Alteryx upgrade to Python v3.10. You can continue to view your data and design via the Design tab of the Insights tool.

Compatibility Setting Update with Connect Loaders

We have identified an issue affecting use of the Connect feature due to a specific DCM setting within Designer 2024.1. The current default setting, "DCM Only," restricts Connect Loaders from functioning properly as it does not allow for password entry. This is essential for the Connect loader operation.

Workaround: To ensure uninterrupted service and proper functionality of Connect Loaders, please switch the DCM setting in Designer from "DCM Only" to "DCM as Default." To do so, go to Options > User Settings > Edit User Settings. Then change the DCM Mode to DCM as Default.

Note: Failure to update this setting will result in errors when using Connect Loaders 2024.1 with Designer 2024.1. We urge you to make this adjustment promptly to avoid any disruption.

While the "DCM as Default" setting is currently required in Designer 2024.1, we acknowledge its limitations in security. We are committed to enhancing security and will introduce support for the "DCM Only" setting in future updates of Connect Loaders.
