I like to suggest having a Batch Macro Container (besides the existing Container) which acts as a Batch Macro within a Workflow and is stored within the Workflow. I understand that having a batch macro available as a separate tool can be very powerful and reduces redundant work. However, very often Batch Macros are set up…
I do have use cases in which I would like to be able to replace a called macro at runtime (this would avoid need of ListRunner and data handover via files). The idea is to be able to change a macro call via an Action tool. To allow this, please add the filename of the called macro to the configuration of the Action tool,…
If the workflow configuration had a run for 'x' number of iterations option it would make debugging macros a lot easier. My current method consists of copying results, changing inputs and repeat until I find my problem which feels very manual.
Allow for replacement of configuration values in the SharePoint Output Tool version 2.7.5. In previous versions of the tool, we could update configuration values (such as output path) in the tool by passing desired replacement values through a control parameter tool (plus action tool) within a macro. Currently, we are not…
I have reviewed a number of batch macros that work well for mirroring the "NetworkingDays" excel calculation but it would be great to add an interval type for "weekdays" to the DateTimeDiff formula ie DateTimeDiff ( [Date01],[Date02], "WorkDays") where any Saturday or Sunday between the dates would be discounted.
I rarely use the Group By tab on batch macros, but it's unfortunately always the first tab that pops up. When I have a questions tab on a batch macro, it would be great if it appeared first (ie I should see the questions tab when I click on my batch macro.) Thanks!
Given that the current Iterative type Macro will hold each iteration output in memory, to merge it all at the end of the iterations, wouldn't it make sense to have a checkbox for "Large Data Sets" where each iteration's output is stored to a tmp file, to be merged after the iterations stop? As it is, holding multiple…
*unknown field is not available in the interface list box when it connected to a macro input. i wish it has the "*unknown" field like in the select tool. because it normal that the data flow has new columns and need the macro to take care the new columns.
Currently - in order to run a series of Alteryx processes which have start-finish dependancies, you have to hack this by putting each sub-process into batch macros with fake inbound and outbound controls and a fake control parameter. Additionally, alteryx forgets the mapping of parameters if you move stuff around, and you…
A problem that recently came up for us was the need to be able to build an application, called App A, that would launch App B and its set of choices under one set of logical circumstances, launch App C and its set of choices under a second set of logical circumstances, etc. After working with our Alteryx rep and trying to…
