Cash Data in Alteryx 2019

[eduardomarchesin]

Has Alteryx 2019 any option module into Input Data tool or is there any workaround in order to keep data cashed when you re-run a stream?

In oldest Alteryx version had an option "Cash data".

Hi @eduardomarchesin,

this option is available from version 2018.3 on. Just right click on a tool and hit 'cache and run' to cache that tool's outpout data that you can use downstream in the workflow. Just bear in mind it works only on tools with a single outpout. As awork around you can add a Select after a tool with multiple outputs and cache there.

See the announcement below:

Hope this helps,

@eduardomarchesin,

Sorry, I forgot to mention that in the latest version 2019.1 the ability to cache at multiple points has also been released.

Hi Giuseppe,

I hope you are doing well!

I've tried to run the workflow as you mentioned, using the "Cash and Run workflow", but I've perceived that if I change any Input data tool, the Alteryx clear all caches. Is it correct?
In my point of view, normally we work with a several Input Data tools, and in the oldest version, after you check the "Cash Data" option inside of each Input Data tool, the Alteryx did not clear the data.
Am I correct or I'm doing wrong anything?
