Workflow location in server

Question

Hi Guys,

I have created one workflow. I have ran it on the server. But where I can get the location of the same workflow on server.  Where does it get stored? For e.g. I lost my workflow in Gallery or deleted by mistake.  Now how can I recover it?

Thanks,

Sagar

@sagarkharpude When you delete the workflow in Gallery, the setting goes from True to False, meaning the workflow is still there but not available in the UI. You can turn it on by adjusting the mongodb setting, but be careful. Make sure you take a backup of the mongodb before trying anything.

The workflows are stored in the backend mongodb. They are packaged and at run time a temporary path is created, defined in your Alteryx System Settings. You should find it there.

C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\Service\Staging

Hope this helps.

Hi @sagarkharpude

You can find information on where server workflows are stored here:

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Discussions/Where-are-workflows-saved-on-the-Server-of-Gallery/td-p/17924

It is recommended as best practice that you run regular server backups:
