Download the complete content of a Private Studio.

Tam — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 04:02:22 GMT

I have inherited an Alteryx Server (yay !) however there are many private studios some with a few workflows or apps and others with 100 of workflows and apps, some of these are in collections or part of a scheduled runs, the rest are just bit and pieces of work.

I've got to clean this up, some of the owners are no longer around.

The question is, can I download their private studio without having to download each workflow or app so that so that I can back it up on my local drive before I go through and delete all the unused apps or workflow.

Many thanks

Hey @Tam ,

Fortunately, you have the Alteryx Server APIs for that. The authentication part will depend on your Alteryx Server version, but for the endpoint, it will be as follows:

Retrieve all workflowIDs and info: https://help.alteryx.com/20223/server/workflow-endpoints#retrieve-all-workflows

Download all workflow packages: https://help.alteryx.com/20223/server/workflow-endpoints#download-a-workflow-package

Luckily, we do have macros developed that could help you with this process.

Hey @Tam ,

I came across this today and remembered your question.

This workflow was setup for environments before 22.1 if I'm not mistaken, where you have OAuth1.0
