Render tool overwriting outputs

edal

I have a workflow that produces outputs via render tools.  I need to use a render tool to split the data into separate sheets ready to be emailed out.

This workflow runs overnight on our gallery schedule and produces outputs containing the required data.  However, if I then open the workflow in Alteryx, all of these outputs are automatically overwritten and are now blank.  I'm not running the workflow in Alteryx or knowingly asking the workflow to do anything - simply opening it seems to trigger it to overwrite the correct files and I have to manually re-run it to produce the data I need. 

 

Is it possible to stop this overwrite happening?

Disable Events in the Workflow.

Open the workflow in Alteryx Designer.

Go to View > Events in the menu to open the Events pane.

Check if any events (like "Run Workflow After Opening") are configured.

If such an event exists, delete or disable it.

 

It should work :)
