Chained App - Show Results on Succes and Run Another Analytic App

MK97pro — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 11:13:55 GMT

Dear Community,

I am struggling with the problem with Alteryx Gallery.

I'm trying to do chain app with two workflows but I cannot show-up the intermediate results to the user.

I've chosen both: Run another Analytic App and Show Results.

Unfortunately my workflow is going straight forward from first workflow to the second without showing the intermediate results to the user.

I tried lot of ways to fix it but no one did not work (with yxdb files, render tool, browse tool, xlsx file and so on).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @MK97pro

Why not build the chained workflow in a way that the report is rendered and shows in the 2nd app.

1st App creates the data for report and saves it as yxdb

2nd App takes the data and creates the report

Hope this helps : )

Hi,

unfortunately I want to give the user opportunity to choose from list box (in 2nd app) the records for filter tool BASED on the data which should be shown as a result of 1st app.

Hope it's clear now :)

Hi @MK97pro

Sorry, but the only other taught I have is to run them as unchained apps run 1st app get result see it, and then run 2nd app.

So it is not possible to show results on success and then run second app on success of the first one?

Hi @MK97pro

Add a browse and configure it to show on successful run like below.

When I run:

Yes, thanks for the infor. My app its working exactly in the same way: In Alteryx Designer / Analytic App I am able to show the intermediate results but the problem still exists in Alteryx Gallery.

Hi @MK97pro

Oh the gallery yes gallery doesn't show any pop-up windows guess you don't have any option other than to make it unchained apps.

Hope this helps : )

But the main thing is when I am disconnecting the apps the preview works fine. But when I am trying to go trough on success first app forget to show the results and going strictly to 2nd one...

But the browse window function doesn't work on the gallery. This issue is similar to that since there is no pop up hence you dont get the option to download the file in between.

Yes, I know.

Perhaps, as I wrote in first message I tried it with .pdf file, .xlsx file and .yxdb file as an outputs :)

Yes correct, as I know there is no way I am aware of that you can keep it chained and show pdf in-between step you can wait for others response.

Did you found a solution for that? I am having the same problem, i need to show some render data between the first and the second app, but it just works on alteryx designer.

The second App's ListBox (or my preference a Tree) can reference the .yxdb created in Step 1. You would need to use a relative path in the second app to reference the .yxdb.

For example, I have a 3 step chained app, the user selects a state in the first App which is used to load a .yxdb, the second app uses the .yxdb to display a Tree interface of LeaseIDs/Vendors relevant to the state selected in the first step. The third step, processes the data based upon the values entered by the user in the first two steps. The state input in the first step, speeds the process up because the query used to build the tree only queries for a specific state vs all states.

Sorry for my long delayed response, trying to troubleshoot my own issue and stumbled upon this.
