CI/CD and deploy pipeline

Hi Guys.

I am new to Alteryx but been engineering data for the past 15 years with MS: Synapse, Fabric, DevOps...

I was trying to find online but can't seems to find the right info.

I have created 2 environments: Test, UAT and Prod. I am going to created WF in Test and want to deploy them later on to UAT and after all is good to Prod.

Would love to do it with version control just like in Fabric /Devops.

Even better if i could had some parameters/variables in the WF to be changed as i move to the other environments like the connection name, server name etc.

Would love to hear from you HOW do i do that, info, videos...

Thank you very much

Yair

Hi @yayadk

Alteryx Servers allow for multiple versions of workflows/apps/macros (with the 'published' one being live).

You can use the server APIs to migrate workflows between servers once they've been marked as ready for migration (there's more information here: https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/server/api-overview/alteryx-server-api-v1/migratable-endpoint.html#migratable-endpoint)

You can also use the DCM Connection handling to seamlessly update connections between your local machine, test and prod servers

(There's a demo of this here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Analytics/Introducing-Alteryx-DCM-Environment-Connection-Handling/ba-p/1275396
and more information here: https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/server/administer-alteryx-server/dcm-connection-handling.html#permissions-to-access-dcm-environment-connection-handling-rules)

Does that help?

Hi Ollie

Thank you very much for the respond and the help.

I will give it a go and see if it did.

Short is --- you're self-building... If this is critically important for your enterprise - I'd recommend learning the Server APIs and reviewing how to build .yxzp files internally from .zip files. You can then use Github/Github Actions/Serverless Functions to build CI/CD pipelines.

Tnx apthetichell

I will read it.

I have now tested it.

The migration add on is great.

The DCM connection handling part is not what i am looking for as i would like to change the different input data connections and the same with the output data connection depending on the dev or prod automatically.

Is this possible?

How about:

Jira Project- automation for approvals

JIRA approval sends AWS SNS notification to Lambda.

Lambda downloads .yxzp package from Dev

Lambda uploads .yxzp package to Prod

As mentioned --- you'll have to self build.

Lambda marks new version as active version in Prod.
