Macro Running in Server

VijayAnaparthi — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 04:23:28 GMT

I have only batch macro file which is filename.yxmc, now can I run this file or macro in Alteryx server.

I don't have any other workflows or files to embed this macro in actual workflow.

Hi,

Take a look at this link. It describes Batch Macros is detail and how to call them from a WF. To run from the server you would need a Workflow or App where the Batch macro is called from.

Hi @VijayAnaparthi

You will need some sort of input/output or a workflow for a batch macro to run one time for each record in the control parameter file.

A Batch Macro can group data into batches if needed and process one batch at a time

What functionality does your macro support?

Hope this helps.
