Assistance in Alteryx app logic to dynamically create new folder

sanky1990

Hii

I am looking for certain examples of step wise Alteryx workflow logic implementations and assistance for my case.

 

Here is what I am trying to do.

 

I have alteryx app which I am trying to build with interface parameter as date entry. At end of workflow I am creating an output as alteryx database .yxdb

 

My requirement is to create a folder dynamically under Main path ‘D:\Alteryx\Test’ once we run this workflow with MonthYear of passed date.

 

For example, folder ‘November2021’ should get created if any date in November 2021 is passed to the app and app is run

 

Output alteryx database name also should be dynamically changed to ‘alteryx_November2021’ and should get created in newly created folder ‘November2021’

 

So if any other date from other month or year is passed, Ex. App is run with 4th December 2021 , New folder ‘December2021’ should get created under D:\Alteryx\Test and Output database ‘alteryx_December2021’ should get created under this new folder and so on dynamically.

 

Looking for some assistance in building this logic or some detailed examples of achieving this using single app or using 2 different apps

Yes, I think we can do it by a Dynamic Input tool
