Transaction Rollback Feature in Alteryx

[sandeep_chayanam]

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you have achieved "Transaction rollback" type of feature in alteryx.

Following is the usecase:

If a workflow that writes data into multiple outputs (could be relational tables / files) is failed half way through in writing to one of the outputs, is there an option to rollback the partially loaded data & reset the process to the original state (i.e., before the execution of the workflow)? (OR) does this needs to be done programatically?

There is a workflow level property - "Cancel Running Workflow on Error". This stops the execution but doesn't perform rollback.

Thanks,

Sandeep.

Could the same be accomplished by using a Block Until Done tool? The workflow won't pass anything to the output until all records are counted, if an error occurs upstream there won't be any cause for a roll-back.
