Hi ,Community,

 

I delete my workflow by mistake, but it in the desktop scheduler-DB , is there a way I can get workflow from scheduler-DB?

I check this link, but no success on applying this workflow,

Let me know if I have any other options,

 

Thanks

Hi Khu,

 

you can schedule the workflow again from the scheduler and when the workflow executes , check on the server where it is running. It dumps the workflow in staging directory. You can copy the workflow from staging directory.  

 

Example:

D:\ProgramData\Alteryx\Service\Staging\<some id>\<your_workflow>

Hi @khu,

 

Thanks for your question! The SQLite DB used for the Desktop scheduler is located in C:\Program Data\Alteryx\Service\Persistence. 

 

Can you please look in this folder and perhaps read in the workflow from the SQLite DB? 

 

Workflows are stored in xml format. 

 

Let me know how it goes!
