Hello team,

I am accessing SAP HR system to get all sub organizations codes under a given Organization code, this achieved by accessing SAP HR table HRP1001, and loop for the organization with Relationship Specification eq B ( top down) and  Relationship Between Objects is 002 (Reports (line) to), then I get all the output Org codes and pass it again to the same table and with same relation, this is how I get the SAP Org cods manually, I know there is SAP report will do the same objective, but snice I am working with Alteryx workflow and has SAP HR connection to the table level, I would like to perform the looping operation, any one have idea how to perform it thru Alteryx workflow. I appreciate sharing :)

Thank you, Falah

Hello @Falah, you can try using generate rows tool for your workflow. Please go through the examples of the tool once to figure out if it fits your requirement.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Falah ,

 

in general, loops in Alteryx can be created using Macros. If you are familiar with for-loops or while-loops in programming languages, these are similar to the Alteryx Batch Macro and Iterative Macro respectively. You can take a look here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Interactive-Lessons/tkb-p/interactive-lessons/label-name/Macros

 

Let us know if this helps and mark this post as a solution if it does! :)

 

Kind Regards,
