Input tool load first

Hi all,

 

At the end of my workflow I want to check if there are any changes. If there are changes, an email must be sent, otherwise not.

 

The following works, first the output file is filled then the input tool will load.

 

How can I tell input tool 1 to load first in Alteryx?

Hi @IR_2021 

 

Try to make your workflow looks like this and run it again.

Unfortunately, it still writes the new file before the new one is loaded.

@IR_2021 , sorry, i understood that you wanted that.

 

If you want the opposite of that, try to do it like this:

Unfortunately it doesn't work with Block untill done. I just came up with the solution below and it works!

 

Thanks for thinking along.

Hello,

Check out the CReW Macro's Parallel Block Until Done tool. It's great when you need to wait for something to complete, like regular block until done, but your waiting action may be in a separate/unconnected stream.

 

Description:

Parallel Version of the Block Until Done Tool. Ouput 1 will be written completely before output 2 will start to write.
