Hey all!
I'm running a simple test flow on Alteryx Gallery, and then I would like to find the output file on the server so I can work with some scripts reading them and doing some other stuffs. Anyways, I'm unable to find the output file even though I do not specify any paths (so I was expecting it to be saved in the same folder as the flow is located). Is there any configuration I should change in the Alteryx System Settings so I can achieve this behavior that I'm expecting?
Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Workflows on the gallery are saved as packages in the MongoDB.
When they run, they are unpackaged and then destroyed after running.
As a result, when you don't specify a location, the file that is output is also destroyed.
In order to use the file later, you will need to specify a location.
To add to what @dYoast already said, if you have a shared drive that both you and the server can access, that works well for workflows which write output - starting on your machine then migrating to the server (e.g. if you want to schedule it).
Thank you both @dYoast @nickdreach ! It worked as a charm.
