I have a simple workflow that extracts data from 2 independent SAP sources (using the Xtract Universal Connector) and outputs the data to 2 separate files:
The problem I'm having is that the second extraction will only run after the first has been completed even though each extraction is completely independent of the other. How do make both extractions run concurrently in the same workflow? I know that a workaround is to split the 2 extractions into independent workflows and then call both workflows from a masterworkflow but this just created unnecessary layers to a workflow which would be rather straightforward.
Hey @akadwa interesting question, from my understanding Alteryx should run them both in Parallel. What makes you think they are not? are there any time savings from running them in separate workflows? Parallel simultaneous running of workflows - Page 2 - Alteryx Community
Hi IraWatt
1) I can also see they are not running concurrently by looking at the timestamps in log files for each of the extractions. It shows that the second extraction executed exactly when the first extraction completed.
2) Yes, if I run each extraction in its own workflow they run faster and i can see they run at the same time by looking at the log files
