Is there an error in the "Create Entity-Backed Records" tutorial? (forum.appian.com/.../Records_Tutorial

I have gone through it twice, and get this error when I try to see the Record in Tempo:

Could Not Retrieve MGS Employees
The source of the data for “MGS Employee Directory” cannot be accessed. (APNX-1-4205-001)

(I added my initials to the file/entitynames to avoid duplicaiton with others in dev, but did not change the field names).

If I can't get the tutorial to work correctly, I'm unlikely to try to develop my own solutions.

Hi Mark,
This error is indicative of a connectivity issue between the data store you have created and the database instance. Have you created your CDTs and then the data store that references them and gone through the Verify and then Save and Create steps to ensure that the tables are created in your data base correctly and that Appian can communicate with your data base instance? (This would be step 3 in the Create Entity-Backed Records tutorial.) You may also reference the documentation on Data Stores for any additional information you may need. forum.appian.com/.../Data_Stores
