Compatibility with Proxy Auto Configure (PAC) Scripts

[saubert]

As of today, Alteryx is not compatible with PAC, althouth it is pretty common in companies.

Asking for a few machine to be out of the GPO may be a real struggle with IT security and has only a few chances to succeed. I have a case when we cannot do an upgrade because of that regression (since old licensing seems to be ok).

Please change

Hi everyone, I am very pleased to announce that the new version of the Power BI connector has been released and can be downloaded from our Gallery. 

The new version lets you select a workspace you want to work with, supports multiple multiple tables in a dataset, lets you overwrite, update, append or upsert data without breaking your dashboards and work in environments with proxy server as well. 

The most recent Alteryx Designer and Server, i.e. the 2021.2 version, is required.

Hello @VojtechT 

I'm not sure your answer is related to the idea. Can you clarify please?

Best regards,

Hi @saubert ,

you are probably right. Seems like I had too many tabs open and put the comment into a wrong one. 

I guess your PAC issue is related to licensing, right?

Hi @VojtechT 

Licensing and access to API... But at the time when I wrote the idea, it was only licensing. Can I ask you to set the right status?

Thanks,

Simon

PAC script provided via Internet Options has been supported for a while, and since Designer 24.2 you can even provide PAC script directly in Designer. 

See https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/get-started/user-settings/proxy-settings.html#configure... for more details.
