Chained App: App2 does not run upon success of App1

Hi everyone,

I am testing the chained app process with 2 apps for the 1st time.

Although I have set up the interface designer to run App2 upon success of App1, App2 does not get started.

The 2 apps are open, and I receive the confirmation that app1 was successfully run, but that is it.

for the sake of the testing, I am using 2 very simple apps, which are not related (output of app1 is not an input of App2). Is that an issue ?

thanks for any idea!

Got it!

And when you say you are running the App I assume you are using the "Run as Analytic App" button?

The app will run using the Run button as well...just trying to rule things out!

Hi, to close the topic - this link provided by Alteryx Support has helped me:

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Knowledge-Base/Chaining-Workflows-Together/ta-p/38573

With Desktop Designer, the solution for running a sequence of multiple workflows which do not require intermediate user inputs seems to be the use of the Runner and Conditional Runner Crew Macros.

And that indeed works smoothly (workflows do not need to be apps, and can remain normal workflows).

It is a pity that such macros aren't just part of the OOB Alteryx tools.

thanks @ggruccio anyway for the initial useful answer.

Hi @LD,

If you have already configured your interface designer as such, then try closing App2 before running App1 and see if it launches it.

hi @ggruccio

yes, thank you, that is indeed how I have configured App1 interface designer.

I have followed your suggestion, with the same result.

I have even closed Alteryx and tried to open the apps again... but it won't work either 😞
