To set up a Batch Macro to pass files to a common workflow and join output?

I have seven (7) XML files. They all reside in the same source directory. Each file passes through the same workflow (parsing) before being joined into a single (Tableau .tde) output.

I am new to Alteryx. I am struggling with how to setup a Batch Macro to streamline this process. There are a few applicable examples in the forum, but none seem to walk through the details.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

You don't need a schema document. The Dynamic Input will ask for a sample document that it will extract the schema from. So, just use your first file.

If the schema for the files is the same, I would use the Directory tool followed by the Dynamic Input tool. This should read all the files in and pass them through the workflow in one smooth step.

They are, but I don't have the schema document. And, I don't know how to quickly recreate it
