in the Domo workbench, can't separate TransactionDate (date/time format) into 2 pieces

I have created a job in the Domo workbench with the following SQL query, but in my resulting dataset, "Transaction_Date" and "Transaction_Time" are not splitting into two columns, one with just the date (2021-09-02) and the other just the time (01:00:21.000)….I am still getting both (2021-09-02 01:00:21.000). I have also tried CONVERT with no success. Thanks in advance.

CONVERT(DATE, a.[TransactionDate]) AS Transaction_Date,    CONVERT(TIME, a.[TransactionDate]) AS Transaction_Time

SELECT
a.[OrderNumber],
a.[ShipToNumber],
a.[LineNumber],
a.[TransactionType],
a.[TransactionNumber],
a.[TransactionDate],
CAST(a.[TransactionDate] AS DATE) AS Transaction_Date,
CAST(a.[TransactionDate] AS TIME) AS Transaction_Time,
a.[SequenceNumber],
a.[VendorNumber]
FROM [Marketing].[dbo].[Sales] a with (nolock)

    dates and times are still represented as timestamps. If you really just want the text values you’ll need to convert it to a string but will lose the ability to do date operations

    Is there any other way to accomplish separating TransactionDate (date/time format) into 2 pieces in the workbench other than converting it to a string, I do need to be able to do date operations?
