      Option 1 - Wont work. I'm already using extracted into our server via Alteryx.

      Option 2 - Wont work for this situation. It works when I follow the steps, but the process takes hours, and this time I have a deadline. Plus I can't be doing this every time I have to make a modification to our BI Software.

      Option 3 - I've done this.

       

      I'm trying to switch feeds in our server from a dated one to a new one.

       

      EDIT I did option 2, no I get this error:

       

      "An error occurred while communicating with the data source.
