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.

Instructions for creating a primary key here:
forum.appian.com/.../Defining_a_Custom_Data_Type

Basically you just want to export the XSD before you publish it, add the markup indicated to create a Primary Key, save the XSD, and import. Then when you publish to a data store, Appian will take care of all the column names etc for you. You don't need to worry about changing any columns by hand if you follow these steps.

Once you've created your data store, it's best to verify that it is configured correctly (e.g. by creating a simple query rule or Write to Data Store node) to eliminate issues before you dive into the new Records functionality.
