Scheduling Alteryx job to run on an hourly basis except on Weekends ( Sat & Sun )

[RadhakrishnaPawaskar]

Hi All,

I want to schedule my Alteryx workflow to run on an hourly basis only every day except on weekends ( Saturday & Sunday). Is there a way to achieve this schedule in Alteryx Server?

Frequency of Job Run is : Every Hourly run except during Weekends when Server goes down for maintenance. 

Regards,

Radhakrishna

Sorry, only option you have is to make multiple schedules on a daily basis for the workflow (that must be really frustrating). 

They might be looking into it in 2022 (if you're lucky).

Good luck!

Hi @RadhakrishnaPawaskar 

Schedule for every hour, and; use the attached workflow's container on a new canvas, then add your workflow to the same canvas.

The test will generate an error if run date is a Saturday or Sunday.  Configure your workflow runtime selecting Cancel of Workflow Error.

It will still be scheduled to run but will not execute the downstream processes.

Wow, smart/creative solution @HomesickSurfer 😄

Hi @RadhakrishnaPawaskar 

Does this work for you?

@HomesickSurfer in the Test tool it looks like the OR should be AND

Correct.  Thank you for pointing that out.
