Scheduler not running the updated workflow

Watsa

I updated a workflow after it had been added to the schedule.  Do I need to click update the workflow in 'View Schedules' or delete the old one and add it again before the next run? It looks like the run did not pick up the updated workflow.

@Watsa It sounds like you are using the legacy scheduler (as opposed to the new gallery scheduling that can be enabled in an 11.0 private Alteryx server). In that case, you would indeed need to delete the old schedule and schedule a new one with your updated flow. Let me know if you are using a private Alteryx server and want different options for getting around this inconvenience.

Yes, I forgot to mention that I use Alteryx 11.0 with scheduler license.  So that said I have to delete the old schedule and schedule a new one with the updated workflow. Thank you very much.

Hey @Watsa,

 

Did this get you to a working solution?   If so, would you mind marking this as solved - or if not, let's iterate together to get to a solution?

 

Thanks @Watsa

Just to clarify here,

If you use Scheduling from the gallery then updating the published version will update what is scheduled.

If you are using the Legacy/Traditional Scheduling function from the GUI,

If the workflow is scheduled to 'Run from Disk', then you should just update the workflow at that location.

If the Workflow is scheduled to 'Run from Scheduler DB' then you can hit the Update App, Workflow or Package button on the Workflows tab of the scheduling window. 

 

You should not have to delete the Workflow/Schedule and re-add it unless you want to change the times that it is scheduled.
