Converting YXMD file into YXZP file automatically

[kshyntassov]

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to Alteryx and I ran into an issue with file formats. Is there any way I can programmatically generate (perhaps using a Python tool) YXZP file based on a YXMD workflow? I looked at zipfile library but I'm not sure if it's capable to do it. If there any macros you can direct me to, that would be greatly appreciated too.

Thanks!

look at 7zip.  There is a way to use the command line to zip files.  I'm on Designer 2021.4 and can read yxzp files.  I think the 7zip commands can be executed using the Run Command Tool.

Here's an example of using Run Command tool (not to zip though)
