Alteryx install using Powershell

ratheesh

Hi Team,

 

I am trying to install and configure Alteryx using PowerShell script and I could able to manage the same. I created a template of “C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\ RuntimeSettings.xml” by copying the same from an existing installation. And it is working fine.

 

I have confused the below two values in the xml file.

<ServerSecretEncrypted>VALUE</ServerSecretEncrypted>
<StorageKeysEncrypted>VALUE</StorageKeysEncrypted>

 

Is the above two values are machine dependent? Can I use the same Value in all the host where I install Alteryx using my script?.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks,

Ratheesh

Hi @ratheesh,

Both of these are a hash generated off encrypted info that includes machine specific information. 

The <ServerSecretEncrypted> is related to the controller token and the <StorageKeysEncrypted> tag relates to the persistence. If you are installing the server on another machine, then I would expect these 2 values to be different to the ones on the last machine. You can set the Controller Token (<ServerSecretEncrypted>) from command prompt if needed after install which will generate the required hash. Take a look at the info here for more details on that: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works-Blog/Intro-to-the-Server-command-line/ba-p/13380
