Trigger workflow using Control M

Hi all,

I am currently working on a project and we are planning to use Alteryx for data preparation. The team is very pleased with the tool as we were able to transform our data easily with it. The only thing that we are worried about is its deployment in our environments.

We are aware that Alteryx has its own scheduler and we have tried it but we see no option in the scheduler to integrate with other scheduling tool.

What we are planning to do is to trigger the Alteryx workflows using control M as we have existing jobs in control M that should be finished first before executing the Alteryx workflows. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi mhiko-s,

I don't think this is possible no, i've seen a number of people trying to use different windows systems to trigger alteryx designer to run as a schedule but they have always failed in their attempts.

However, perhaps you can use an external programme if you do have Alteryx scheduler installed, that I do not know.

Further to this it may be worth opening up your question for potential solutions on how to integrate Alteryx scheduler with your other scheduling tools, because it may be possible.

Hi Ben,

Yes, we have the Alteryx Scheduler also installed. So our best option is to integrate Alteryx scheduler with a third party scheduler?

Mhiko,

We are trying to do the exact same thing now. Trigger an alteryx job from control-m after a preceding job is completed. Were you able to do this finally and if so how did you set it up?
