Error: Designer x64: Tool #247: Tool #3: Iteration #1: Tool #5: Record #1: Tool #2: Tool #2: The external program "SupportingExes\AlteryxRunner.exe" returned an error code: -1
Error: Designer x64: Tool #247: Tool #3: The output connection "Logs" was not valid

Hello,

 

I am also running the "List Runner" on a schedule.

 

What I did was:

 

1. I put all the workflows in a folder on the Gallery.

2. I had the list runner installed on the Gallery.

3. I tested that the list runner could be run from the Alteryx Client on the Alteryx Server.

4. I scheduled the list runner from within the Server (remote desktop).

 

Remeber that any custom macro on a client must be installed on the same location on the server.

I strongly recommend that you always install macros in the Alteryx Macro folder:

C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\Macros

 

The list runner is installed with and YXI (Alteryx installer) file, and those always go under the %AppData% folder somewhere, and you should leave them there. But that means that if you share a workflow using a macro from an YXI installer file, then those users must also run the installers. Exporting the workflow as an yxzp is not enough.

 

Hope this help :)
