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.

I've tried to follow the instructions in the tutorial, but keep running into a problem setting the "id" field as "the primary key and set to generate value". I don't see a way to do this in Appian Designer--seems like I can't do that until I create the Data Store, at which point I auto-create the tables. Then, I have to go into mySQL and change the key from "A_ID" to "id", and that appears to be where the problem occurs.

I'm sorry, I'm not a DBA nor am I a developer. I'm just trying to use software that reportedly requires no programming.
