Allow Data Connections for the Server machine itself

I'm really loving the new data connections for 11.0. We have deployed them in a private gallery for our users and it's great. The only drawback is that the server itself cannot easily be configured to use these same credentials. I would like some way for the service account running our jobs on our server to use the data connections from the gallery. I can assign the credentials to that service account just fine, but it never picks them up since it never open up the Alteryx GUI when it's running jobs. This would allow us to have one spot with all of the credentials. Currently, we're going to have 2 locations with all of our credentials that we'll have to make sure stays in sync: 1 in the gallery for the users, and 1 on the sever box for the server.

 

Thanks!

Hi @patrick_digan ,

 

It was great talking with you about the new Data Connection Manager feature in 11.0. I am glad I could demonstrate the new Alteryx Server model for sharing data connections. I hope this leads to even greater adoption. Please feel free to reach out again!
