Using crew macros for scheduling workflows

rohanonline

All,

 

I am trying to schedule my workflows using crew macros. I am in a situation where I want two workflows to finish before I could kick-off the next one.

 

I am not sure what would be the best way to do that. I tried using a parallel block and union, but it doesn't seem to be working.

 

For example - in the workflow below, both the workflows highlighted in red should finish before the green ones start running. Can anyone help with a potential solution?

Would it be better to use the List Runner?

I think you are hoping that the list runners will let you run workflows in parallel.  Unfortunately they do not.

 

So yes either the list runner or just put your conditional runners in a single line in the order you want the workflows to run.

Hi @AdamR_AYX

 

Does runner macro work with workflows that have events? I currently have a workflow with 2 events that works perfectly. Whenever i zip it in a runner tool and attach it to a conditional one, it fails. could you please shed some lights on this?

 

Thank you!

Hi Adam,

 

Need confirmation whether sequencing of workflows using Runner/Conditional Runner works as expected in Alteryx Scheduler too. ?

 

Appreciate your help at the earliest.

Hello @Mahadeva, The CReW Runner Macros are not supported on Scheduler or Server because they initiate Alteryx Workflows outside of the monitored Queue and can easily overload a machine.

Hi @Mahadeva, in the Scheduler you must execute the original, not the copy in MongoDB, in this way if it works for you.

Thank you Gabriel, will test this option and revert.
