Migrating workflows from TEST server to PROD environment

[mahmoodalqadi]

Hello Community, 

I work for an Alteryx partner, and a customer purchased the Altreyx server. They want to move workflows from the test server used in the POC to the PROD server currently deployed. is there a guide on how this process can be done? keeping in mind that the license for the trial version installed on the test server is expired. 

Thank you, 

Mahmoud

@mahmoodalqadi it will be easer if they have access to the POC Server environment (they should be able to get a trial key for it or extend the trial on it). Reason being, you can then follow the steps here:

https://help.alteryx.com/20212/server/enable-workflows-migration

whereby they mark the workflows from TEST "ready for migration, and can use our Gallery API (https://help.alteryx.com/developer-help/gallery-api-migratable-endpoint) to migrate the workflows from the TEST to the PROD Servers.

Capitalize has built a platform to make documentation, governance, and administration of Alteryx easier. It includes a migration tool to move workflows from one environment to another using a GUI. We could certainly put an NDA/Non-solicitation in place to protect you client relationship if you'd like to show them the product: https://capitalizeconsulting.com/workflow-admin-manager/

Hi @mahmoodalqadi - As it was already written, APIs are your best friends. Please read the documentation links above and the article below (contains sample workflow): https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Knowledge-Base/Migrating-Workflows/ta-p/335774 

Alternatively, you can try read from MongoDB directly, but you may find challenges of this path. Please read the following discussion: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Download-yxmd-file-from-Mongodb-Schedu...
