DB Connect dbxquery works fine, but not dbxlookup

Hi,

Has anyone run into this? I am still on DB Connect 3.2 and have used dbxquery successfully for years. I am just trying to use dbxlookup but cannot get even a simple example to work?

 

| makeresults count=3 | streamstats count as id | dbxlookup connection="agena_ro" query="SELECT * FROM `agena_production`.`plans`" "id" AS "id" OUTPUT "description" AS "description"

 

I see this in the logs that looks suspicious?

Thanks.

dbxlookup doesn't seem to work when I tried to run. The query doesn't provide any outputs when I clicked Open in Search in Data Lab/ Edit Lookup page. Both my reference search and Look SQL are working, and provide correct results when running separately.

dbxquery connects to a configured database, so you cant use makeresults for testing queries.

Thanks codebuilder but I don't understand? I am only using makeresults to test the dbxlookup?
