Build workflow without crew macros

Question

Hi All,

Can an Alteryx workflow(Dependency across Alteryx Jobs) be created without crew macro?

For example, An alteryx job 'J2' have to be run only after the successful execution of the previous job 'J1'.

Can this be achieved without using the crew macro components like 'Runner' and 'Conditional Runner'?

Thanks,

Mohith

Hi @MohithRai an alternative is creating a chained app so you would run J1 then on success J2.  Link below are some resources about chained apps.

Hi @MohithRai

Highly recommend the Interactive Learning video in Alteryx Academy that @JosephSerpis  references!!

You can turn any workflow into an Analytic App, even without adding any Interface tools. Just click in the whitespace of the workspace, and you'll have the Workflow Configuration window. On the Workflow tab, choose Analytic app.

Cheers!
