Can Alteryx run a batch file

[kathbanc]

I have a .bat file that generates excel files from SAP. Can the gallery schedule it? Hopefully, you have sample workflows you can share. 

thank you so much in advance.

Hi @kathbanc ,

Yes, you can.

Here are some resources about it:

Hi @kathbanc ,

Xtract for Alteryx can help you connect Alteryx to SAP systems and supports scheduling with Alteryx Server (and DCM for syncing credentials securely). It is an Alteryx plugin that allows you to extract SAP data using different options such as connecting to SAP Tables, Reports, Function modules, SAP Extractors (ODP), and more. It's easy-to-use, certified by SAP and has a free trial available at https://theobald-software.com/en/xtract-for-alteryx
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your Alteryx account team (it's the only SAP connector that can be bought directly from Alteryx thanks to a close partnership).
