WorkFlow uses other Workflow

Is this possible in Alteryx? So i have created a workflow (YXMD) file. Now i want to create a new workflow with 2 steps for example. In the middle of these 2 steps i want to execute the other workflow. Is this possible with Ateryxs? where can i find documentation about how to do this?

 

Thanks in advanced

The easiest way is to use the Runner Macro (part of the CReW Macros: see http://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works-Blog/Crew-Macro-Pack-2015-Q3-Release/ba-p/5423).

 

If you have the license to use it you can use the Run Command Tool running AlteryxEngineCmd to run as well.

 

One other option is to convert it to a macro and include it as a macro.

If you need to run Alteryx modules from within other Alteryx modules in a sequence, I suggest checking out the Runner macro in the CReW Macro pack: http://www.chaosreignswithin.com/

 

However, if you have created a module that does a specific job and you need to perform those tasks inside of another module, I think you might be looking to create an Alteryx macro: https://www.interworks.com/blog/mtreadwell/2015/05/18/create-your-own-alteryx-tools-macros
