Urgent: Chained App Not Working in Alteryx Gallery

Question

I have created an Alteryx Chained App that works perfectly in Designer but fails when uploaded to the Alteryx Gallery. This is an urgent issue, and I would appreciate any assistance. Below is an overview of the app's workflow:

App1: Writes the output to Result1.yxdb.

App2: Contains the XML script of two Alteryx Apps in two containers. Based on the selection, the output is written and later referred to as App4.

App3: Calls App4, but since the file writing is problematic, a dummy App was created.

App4: This app should run, but it only works in Designer, not in the Gallery.

Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Thank you!

Thanks for the trust, @apathetichell . But it took way longer than that. 😂

@Rihan_Mohamed ,

The reason why your app4 is not running is that you have to package it and send it with all the other apps before. I understand you are creating the app4 on the fly, but sending a 'sample' of app4 will tell the server that there is still an app to be executed.

But then you will face another issue related to the temp folders if I`m not mistaken. Let me know if you are still pursuing this solution and I will see if I can troubleshoot it.

Best,

Having said that - your app2 is wrong. It will not work on your designer as configured. I get that you are porting over ideas from another workflow - but in order to fix this on Server - if it did work - you would need to know how your workflow works - and your App2 is wrong.

@fmvizcaino - did you open this - I'm sure you can identify in like ten seconds why App2 would never work on Designer.

I do not believe you can dow that you are trying to do on Server - and I believe it is purposeful. I built something like this - and Server does not support cyclical app (app 1-> app2 -> app3 -> app1 (version 2) etc) workflows. I believe they view it as a "security provision" but it sounds like manure to me. I was exploring using APIs instead (
