Data flow to run while file is open

Mahabirpanigrahi

HI All,

 

Need a suggestion on the my workflow to run while my file is open.

 

I have data in .xlsx format in multiple folder, i used dynamic input tool to get the data . One folder has multiple files, i need to pick only latest file from each folder. And i have running the flow in 30 mins loop to get the updated info.

Suppose folder A, I have wrongly kept open the "Latest .xlsx file". So as per process the flow will throw me an error, and the data from that folder A will not be picked thru Alteryx.

 

So, are there any way Alteryx will pick up the previous updated file ?

 

Enclosed here the data structure for your reference.

 

Is this something possible in Altreryx ?

 

Please help!

 

Mahabir.

Hi @Mahabirpanigrahi,

 

The Conditional Runner tool should be referencing the first workflow (Test - Updated) and not the workflow it is in (Test - Updated with error check).
