Download all ouput files

ADriver — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 22:30:27 GMT

Hi,

I was using an analytics app to ask other teams to download their files through Alteryx server. I used the render tool to output my files. I wonder is there a way to let people download all files at one time.

Please advise! Much appreciated!

A couple ways you could do it is to either zip all the files up and provide a zip file or save all to a folder and provide a link. Would either of those work?

@joshuaburkhow, @ADriver - I have a similar use case where I have an analytic app running on gallery which outputs 50 excel files, but I'm trying to output just 1 zip file. I tried using the Workflow Configuration > Events > After Run Without Errors which then calls a powershell script which zips up all the files in 1 zip folder and it works on Alteryx Designer, but it does not work when workflow is published on Gallery. It returns the error - The external program "powershell.exe" returned an error code: -196608: The system cannot find the file specified. I believe Alteryx server can't find the powershell script because when i publish the workflow i'm unable to attach it using the "Manage workflow assets". Is there anoter way to make this work so that a single zip file is the downloadable output on Server/Gallery? Any suggestions?
