Where can I find workflows published to the gallery on the server

[Anthony_1]

Hi , am wondering where all the workflow that are published to the server kept. In my situation we have a user managed mongo DB . Am trying to get a list of where this information are stored .

Hey @Anthony_1 ,

If you are looking for the metadata, you can find it on the appInfo collection on the AlteryxGallery database: https://help.alteryx.com/20231/server/workflows-admin-interface

It is also possible to view all the gallery workflows from the Gallery admin page: https://help.alteryx.com/20231/server/workflows-admin-interface

Another option is using the gallery APIs, retrieve all workflows endpoint : https://help.alteryx.com/20223/server/workflow-endpoints

Hi Thanks for the feedback. What am looking at is let say the workflows that I have published on the server do we have a place like on the drive that information is stored  c:userid/allworkflows

No, there isn`t a place like that. The workflows are all stored inside your MongoDB only.

I came accross this and was a bit coinfused though. So apart from mongo DB there is no place where workflows published to the gallery are kept?

Hey @Anthony_1 ,

The post is 100% correct. Every time you run a workflow, Alteryx temporarily saves a workflow on the staging folder so it can be executed. Right after the workflow completion, all the files are deleted.
