​
About this release

This release restores compatibility with Alteryx Designer 2024.2 and later, which ships a newer version of Newtonsoft.Json (v13) than the version the connector previously bundled (v12). It also adds support for client credentials authentication, required for ABBYY Vantage 3.0.

​
Compatibility updates

  • Alteryx Designer 2024.2 and later – Updated the connector’s Newtonsoft.Json dependency from v12 to v13 to match the version shipped by Alteryx. The connector now bundles its own Newtonsoft.Json.dll rather than relying on the version provided by the Alteryx host process, eliminating the assembly version mismatch that caused System.IO.FileLoadException on startup in Alteryx 2024.2+.
  • ABBYY Vantage 3.0 – Updated the Vantage Public API client (Abbyy.Integration.Vantage.Shared.PublicApi) to support ABBYY Vantage 3.0. The Abbyy.Integration.JsonExport.Contract dependency has also been rebuilt against the updated dependency versions.
  • .NET Framework 4.8 – Minimum required .NET Framework version updated from 4.7.2 to 4.8.

​
Upgrade procedure

1

Run the setup file

Run ABBYYVantageConnectorForAlteryx.3.0.5.x64.3.0.5.exe.
2

Run the custom tool package

After installation completes, open C:\Program Files\ABBYY Vantage Connector for Alteryx and double-click Abbyy.Alteryx.Vantage.Connector.yxi.
3

Install the new version

The tool installer loads within Alteryx Designer. Click Install to finish installing the new version. The installer copies the connector files into the folder <ProgramDataFolder>\Alteryx\Tools\Vantage, where ProgramDataFolder is the folder containing the Alteryx program data files. Depending on the installation type, this can be:
  • %APPDATA%\Alteryx\Tools\Vantage – if you are installing the connector for the current user only
  • %PROGRAMDATA%\Alteryx\Tools\Vantage – if you are installing the connector for all users

Copy the connector files into Alteryx

Depending on your installation type, the default Alteryx installation folder is either C:\Program Files\Alteryx\ or C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Alteryx\.
Copy the connector files from the ProgramData folder into the Alteryx installation folder:
  1. Go to the <ProgramDataFolder>\Alteryx\Tools\Vantage folder created by the installer in the previous step.
  2. Copy all files from the <ProgramDataFolder>\Alteryx\Tools\Vantage\bin folder into the bin folder in the Alteryx installation folder.
  3. Copy the file from the <ProgramDataFolder>\Alteryx\Tools\Vantage\plugin folder into the bin\Plugins folder in the Alteryx installation folder.
5

Restart Alteryx Designer

Restart Alteryx Designer to ensure the changes have been applied.

Switch to client credentials authentication

Open your workflow. ABBYY Vantage 3.0 requires client credentials authentication, so create a new client ID and secret, and then update the Use Skill and Get Result tools. Set Authorization to Client Credentials, fill in the Client ID and Client secret fields, and then save and re-run the workflow to confirm the new configuration works.

Known issues

​
Limitations

  1. Backward compatibility with previous connector versions is not supported. All Alteryx workflows that used old ABBYY Vantage tool versions will break, and Alteryx shows an error instead of the ABBYY Vantage tool. Add new tools to the Alteryx workflow and configure them again. A detailed description of the new input and output parameters is available in this documentation. The connector ships with sample processes that show how to configure all new features.
  2. All rows passed on the tool’s input are processed successively, not in parallel. For example, if several folders are passed on the Use Skill input, the Use Skill tool launches the transaction for the first folder, and only after that transaction is launched does it launch the second transaction, one by one.
  3. Limitation for the output folder for the Get Result tool. The absolute folder path must not be longer than 260 characters, including the transaction folder and document folder names created by the Get Result tool (36 characters for each).
  4. The timeout cannot be increased. Each tool has a timeout for processing one row of the input data table. By default, the timeout value is 30 minutes (the average time required to upload the maximum file size allowed by Vantage).
  5. Parse Fields tool limitations:
    • Parse Fields does not return any fields if Values only JSON is enabled in the Process Skill output settings. Use only the full JSON file as input for Parse Fields.
    • Parse Fields does not return field values if the input JSON is from a Classification Skill. As a workaround, use the embedded Alteryx Parse JSON tool to extract classification data or other data from the result JSON.
