Conditional Launching of Chained Applications

[bwall]

A problem that recently came up for us was the need to be able to build an application, called App A, that would launch App B and its set of choices under one set of logical circumstances, launch App C and its set of choices under a second set of logical circumstances, etc.  After working with our Alteryx rep and trying to use the Run Command object to launch the apps from the command line (which caused a licensing issue error), we've been told that this is not something that is currently possible in Alteryx.  We were wondering if it would be possible to get functionality like this in a future edition of Alteryx.

Hi @patrick_digan,

Regarding your response:

"The server will have each person's instance created in its own subfolders on the server backend, so there is no risk that people collide with each ether."

Could you elaborate more on this? Does this mean that I do not need to make any additional configuration changes to ensure that the app still works as intended even if 2 users run the app at the same time?

Thanks :)

Hi @gjunhao96! when a user runs a job on the gallery, the server creates a windows subfolder to execute the job within. Within that subfolder, any packaged files or relative files will exist/be written. Thus 2+ users can run the same job at the same time and alteryx will execute them both in separate subfolders.

Hi @anuninan07 I have the same problem now. Have you find out a solution? Thanks!
