Hi,
I'm new to Python and there is probably a better way but my goal is to extract details (SQL, formulas, etc.) from all of my existing workflows. I'm stuck on two things:
1. How do I know from the XML, the order that a tool gets executed?
2. How do I know what tools are part of a container?
Thank You,
Tim
Attached is a sample of my output. I add the WF File name as well.
Solved! Go to Solution.
If your objective is documentation, you may want to take a look at the Auto Documentation analytic app: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/Auto-Documentation/ba-p/545827
Hi Brandon,
Thanks, I do use that but this would allow be to dive into my entire library of WFs. I've used that WF to generate a PDF to document a single workflow.
Regards,
Tim
In theory you could just turn that into a macro and feed in the list of workflow file paths from a directory tool in as a control parameter and set the output to dynamically change the file name.
Yes, I have that working. I scan yxmd, yxmc and yxwz files. I get eveything I need accept for the order that the tools run in and whether or not a tool is in a container. The macro uses python to "flatten" xml but I need to figure out how to add order and container info.
They have another version that accounts for containers: https://gitlab.com/keyrus-us/public/alteryx_auto_doc_revamp/-/tree/master
I haven't personally worked with it yet, but it may have the information that you are looking for there
Thanks. I'll take a look.
I found this on Github. This is different from Keyrus and so far gives flexibility. You can extend it from the user case it was built for with Python.
