Submission GuidelinesHi, we have had a couple of customers that experienced some issues keeping Promote running properly. It would be nice if there was a central repository of information of potential failures that we can point out the the customers instead of having them dig for it in the community (or wait for support to do the digging). It would greatly help since a number of clients in my country are quite intimated with Linux.
So there we have a hosted version of Alteryx Server at gallery.alteryx.com
Why not to have a "hosted" version for Promote
One key challenge that we have is promoting regular canvasses (not just advanced analytics models).
It would be very useful if Promote could be made part of the core product of the server:
a) split the server into 1;2;3 environments (Dev; UAT; Prod)
b) Promote then manages the workflow to promote an asset between these environments, with a configurable workflow that allows for signoffs; diff checks; control checks (e.g. are people using tools in the right way; DB connection strings etc); and then writing a copy into the firm source-code repository.
c) Promote should also then change the links in canvasses to point to a prod version of the databases and APIs if relevant.
This process is currently extremely manual and labour intensive; so if we could apply the same Promote process to regular canvasses it would be a big time saving for our admin teams.

Some customers would like to log all inputs & outputs that go into each model. The goal is to save every JSON request and response with minimal (or no) impact to latency.

send application and server logs from a promote instance to Elasticsearch using logstash or fluentd
It would be extremely useful to have an option to paginate over the output of a Promote Alteryx model.
For example, suppose the output of a model is :
[ { "object_id": 1 "class" : 1 }, { "object_id": 2 "class" : 0 } ... ]
...if that output contains hundred of thousands of items, it could be important to be able to paginate over that output instead of returning the whole thing at once and risking a timeout.
Idea: How about delivering the promote package with a model zoo?
Rationale: It takes time to ROI, when you first license any analytics software.
Alteryx Designer comes with nice sample workflows you can start building on top of them and have a
right off the bat.
What if Alteryx Promote comes with;
Some simple and some "deep" models as is;
