Suppot on unpacking the Yxzp file

[mufithullam]

I have a packaged version of yxzp file but am missing the original version of my yxzp file (lost it). 

When chang the name to zip and extract the files, still I am unable to see my workflow. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance.

What a .yxzp File Is

A .yxzp file is essentially a compressed archive (a ZIP file) that bundles together an Alteryx workflow (.yxmd file) and all of its dependencies, such as:

• Macro files (.yxmc)

• App files (.yxwz)

• Input files (e.g., .csv, .xlsx if they were bundled)

• Other necessary asset

When you rename the .yxzp to .zip and extract it, you should see the contents. If you don't see your workflow (.yxmd) file, it's typically because:

It's a "Published" package (less likely for a simple loss): If the file was packaged and published to an Alteryx Server/Gallery, sometimes the packaging process can heavily obfuscate or encrypt the contents, making direct extraction of the original .yxmd file difficult or impossible without using Alteryx Designer itself to import it.

The File is Corrupted: The .yxzp file itself may be corrupted and did not extract properly, or the underlying .yxmd file within the package is damaged.

The most reliable way to access the workflow inside a .yxzp file is to use Alteryx Designer:

1. Open Alteryx Designer.

2. Go to File > Open Workflow.

3. Navigate to your .yxzp file and select it.

You can use something like 7-Zip to see the contents and extract them if needed... but otherwise I would just open it from Alteryx Designer which will extract them when you try opening it!

It's a published package so I think can't retrieve it I guess, unless if you have steps for it? I tried poking around a bit, coz it always open as a app so.

I don't understand the issue - are you saying it's an app on Server and you can't retrieve it? Then the person who published it needs to give you access so you can download it

Please provide more clarity (with screenshots) for what you are looking for, and steps you have already done to try and retrieve the info

You can drag the app onto Designer, and it'll open the workflow. If you double click the app, it opens as an analytic app. @mufithullam
