Alteryx Workflow Not Running All Containers

edmund_belleza

Morning, I'm having an issue with my workflow. It was working fine yesterday. However, when I run it this morning the workflow does not seem to be running through all the containers causing issues/errors downstream.

For example, Containers A, B, C run and I can see data flowing through in the Browse Tools. However, the workflow is not running Container D. Container D is "Enabled.". When I copy and paste Container D to a New Workflow tab, and run just Container D, it runs fine. 

1) I've attempted to delete Container D from the original workflow, saved the workflow, and then paste Container D back into the original workflow and relink, but the workflow still skips Container D when I run.

2) I've copied the entire workflow and pasted into a new Workflow tab, and the workflow still skips Container D. 

I haven't made any chances to the workflow since it ran fine yesterday. Not sure why Container D is being skipped or how to get Alteryx to include it in the Run.

Any chance anyone here may have some thoughts and how to troubleshoot? I can't share the workflow given the confidentiality of the data.

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to respond.

They are all Containers containing Tools.

Update: The overall workflow branches out into three Parts (#1-#3). Each Part is downstream from Container D and each Part is housed in their own container. I was trying to run it for just Part #3 (with Parts #1 & #2 disabled), where the Container D was just not initiating. On a whim I turned on the containers for all three Parts (#1-#3) and ran the workflow. All three Parts ran fine, and Container D was initiated and ran successfully.  I disabled Parts #1 and #2 and tried to run Part #3 only, and now the workflow is running fine. Odd. 

For the moment, I think I'm okay. Not sure why the workflow wasn't working earlier, or what it was that I did that "jogged" Container D to join the rest of the workflow.
