Alteryx Workflow Not Running All Containers

[edmund_belleza]

Morning, I'm having an issue with my workflow. It was working fine yesterday. However, when I run it this morning the workflow does not seem to be running through all the containers causing issues/errors downstream.

For example, Containers A, B, C run and I can see data flowing through in the Browse Tools. However, the workflow is not running Container D. Container D is "Enabled.". When I copy and paste Container D to a New Workflow tab, and run just Container D, it runs fine. 

1) I've attempted to delete Container D from the original workflow, saved the workflow, and then paste Container D back into the original workflow and relink, but the workflow still skips Container D when I run.

2) I've copied the entire workflow and pasted into a new Workflow tab, and the workflow still skips Container D. 

I haven't made any chances to the workflow since it ran fine yesterday. Not sure why Container D is being skipped or how to get Alteryx to include it in the Run.

Any chance anyone here may have some thoughts and how to troubleshoot? I can't share the workflow given the confidentiality of the data.

@edmund_belleza Are they control containers or tool containers? Is there any extra or advanced configuration in the workflow that could be disabling the container? If you look at the underlying xml of the workflow, have you looked at container D to see if the code is saying something different than what you are getting?

It's hard to diagnose the issue without seeing what's going on but we can try to help.

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to respond.

They are all Containers containing Tools.

Update: The overall workflow branches out into three Parts (#1-#3). Each Part is downstream from Container D and each Part is housed in their own container. I was trying to run it for just Part #3 (with Parts #1 & #2 disabled), where the Container D was just not initiating. On a whim I turned on the containers for all three Parts (#1-#3) and ran the workflow. All three Parts ran fine, and Container D was initiated and ran successfully.  I disabled Parts #1 and #2 and tried to run Part #3 only, and now the workflow is running fine. Odd. 

For the moment, I think I'm okay. Not sure why the workflow wasn't working earlier, or what it was that I did that "jogged" Container D to join the rest of the workflow.

@edmund_belleza if you can provide a screenshot of the workflow, that might help work out what happened
