Setting priority for jobs using gallery api

Question

Hi,
We have python code which is used to Trigger and Execute Alteryx workflow. Our python code uses request.post(url, params) to trigger the workflow  where the url is gallery_url along with job id and params has the oath parameters. The code has been working fine but lately our jobs are getting queued for a long time. So we decided to increase the priority of the job. But currently i am not sure how to set the priority. In the params section i believe this can be used for Oath parameters and not for sending priorities . Is there a way to send priority in the request.post when triggering the workflow? If not, can we only do this using Alteryx Server UI?

Thanks

Hey @skuppayy ,

When sending a post request to run jobs in Alteryx, you have the option to send information for analytical apps and job priority.

Maybe the python function you are using is not sending anything in the body and you need to include this part as well.

Hey @skuppayy ,

1. You need to send as a json and define the header 'content-type' as 'application/json'

2. It is possible to only send the priority and you need to send numbers:

* 0 = Normal/Low
* 1 = Medium
* 2 = High
* 3 = Critical
* 4 = Chained Apps
* 6 = Validation

Questions are related to analytical apps. If you are using interface tools in your app, you can send data and modify anything in your workflow based on those.

3. No, but you will not be able to test using this documentation. The one I sent you is from the Alteryx public gallery, your client's environment has its own interactive app requests and you can test from there, but it will trigger the same way as your python code is. I suggest you creating a dummy analytical app to test that out.
