Hi Alteryx Community,

I am trying to run the chained app on my Company's server. When I run the app, the primary app run successfully but when I choose the to run the connected/chained app, it download on my system instead of running on the server. Need help to run the complete app on the server.

Below are the snapshot:

Primary App:

Second app:

Download instead of running on the server:

Can you double check the way you have your apps chained together? If you look at the interface designer, it should have upon completion run another app and uncheck show results to user.

When uploading, you should only have to upload the first app to the Gallery. If you click Manage Assets when saving the other pieces should be checked.

This link has an example of a chained app that you can follow for configuration:

Hi @echuong1

Thanks for the quick response.

Please tell me on success option which app I select? Oracle or SAP. As user select SAP or Oracle, the is a seperate app for both.

Thanks & regards,

If you are running a completely different process based on what the user selects, I recommend using a detour tool or the condition tool instead. Your workflow would be consolidated as well.

With the detour tool, based on what the user selects, the data will stream through one of the possible workflow sections (SAP or Oracle).

Hi @echuong1

I am already using the condition tool with the below interface designer configuration. I am not sure which app I should select at on success option. Please correct me if I am making any mistake.

If you have enough will, here's the way...

You will run step2 on successful completion of step1 .

The trick is to make step1 swap the content of step2 before successful completion.

In your save of step1 to gallery, add assets: step2.yxmd, step2_oracle.yxmd, step2_sap.yxmd

When step 1 is running, overwrite step2.yxmd with either the oracle or the sap version
