Hi
My idea is to facilitate scheduling through Gallery vs the separate scheduler built into Designer. The reasons for this:
- The current scheduler authentication with Alteryx server via token is a big security concern. This allows all users to see all schedules, workflows, output logs, etc. for the entire server.
- It will better interact with the Alteryx 10 version contol. Current scheduler shows all prior versions in the workflow list.
- Allow the server/gallery admin to setup scheduling rules. Ex: No scheduling during certain windows (for maintance downtimes), max frequency of scheduling, prevent users from scheduling too many jobs at the same time, user level rules.
- Allow scheduled workflow output to be retrieved from the "Workflow Results" section by the user who scheduled the workflow. Ex: I schedule a workflow that takes 2 hours to run at 6AM each day, then by the time I arrive at the office at 8AM, I can login to the gallery and download the output.
Thanks,
Ryan
