Hi @Avishek1 ,

 

you can use Alteryx to create a .bat file that can then be triggered using the command prompt tool.

This way, you can use Alteryx to create the variable parts of the script dynamically. However, if you just have a static .bat to call the script then you can simply have alteryx trigger this at the end of the run.

@Avishek1,

 

You can use cmd tool with cygwin or similar installed on your windows machine to let you run the Unix scripts.

please take a look on this post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/May-i-run-a-Unix-command-in-Alteryx-fi...
