Need help in Container Concept

Karthick461

Hi,

 

 I have created 2 Containers. Each container has some calculations..

 

In 2nd container, I am using Join condition.. one of the input to join condition is the output from 1st container..

 

So my question is, when I run the workflow, both container started loading.. but my actual requirement is after 1st container loads successfully, then only I want the second container to start load. then only my output will be correct.

 

Is there anyway to achieve this.

hey @Karthick461 

Alteryx is smart and will load everything up until the join, before the join occurs.

 

So what you are wanting (unless i'm misunderstanding) will happen anyway. If alteryx occurs a join, it will process the other data input, and continue.

 

Are you saying this isn't currently happening? 

Cheers,
TheOC

Thanks for your Email @TheOC 

 

Please find the below screenshot.. 1st container output is look.yxdb

 

and I am calling that as input in 2nd container.. 

 

The moment i hit Run Workflow, both starting parallelly. but my motive is after 1st container ran successfully and store the O/P, then the 2nd container has to start,..so that 2nd output will be proper.

hi @Karthick461 

Oh Ofcourse!

I would delete your bottom input data tool, and just connect the '2' from the block until done tool to the join. No need to read out and then read back in again, when the data is already in your workflow 🙂 

Hope this helps!

Yes @TheOC .

 

but the problem is after around 40 mins only we are getting output from 1st container.. If I tried 2nd button from block until time, its again taking some time to load.. 

 

That's the reason i tried input tool differently in 2nd container

hi @Karthick461 

You dont need the Block until either by the sounds, just connect the true from your filter to both the output, and the join. 

 

It shouldn't be quicker to write out and then read back in. Are you able to provide your data/workflow at all?
