Convert Gallery Workflow to yxmd

Question

Hi,

I am trying to convert workflows saved on the gallery to yxmd files so that I can use a macro that will analyze the tools within them. I am able to download the files but I cannot get them converted within a workflow. Is this something that can be done?

Hi @Link86

I assume that you're using the Gallery API to download the workflows.  This downloads them as a .yxzp package, which is just a zip file with .yxzp extension.  In order to open a specific file from within a zip archive in Alteryx, you need to know the name of file.  To get the list of files contained in the archive, use the technique outlined here.  Once you get the names, it's just a question of filtering to get the files with .yxmd, yxmc and yxwz.
