Passing input files as parameters to AlteryxEngineCmd.exe

Question

Hi all, I have workflow that requires an excel file as an input. I can run the workflow from the command line interface (AlteryxEngineCmd.exe myworkflow.yxmc) but I was wondering it it is possible the path to the excel file as an argument to the exe instead of defining it in the workflow.

@pgrigora , this should be possible if you have configured an Analytic app.  You can connect a "text input" interface tool and connect it to the 'input data' tool and then trigger the workflow from the command line with the appvalues.xml parameter.

Please see the documentation below.
