Hello all,
This may be a little controversial. As of today, when you buy an Alteryx Server, the basic package covers up to 4 cores :
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Knowledge-Base/How-Alteryx-defines-cores-for-licensing-our-products/ta-p/158030
I have always known that. But these last years, the technology, the world has evolved. Especially the number of cores in a server. As an example, AMD Epyc CPU for server begin at 8 cores :
https://www.amd.com/en/processors/epyc-7002-series
So the idea is to update the number of cores in initial package for 8 or even 16 cores. It would :
-make Alteryx more competitive
-cost only very few money
-end some user frustration
Moreover, Alteryx Server Additional Capacity license should be 4 cores.
Best regards,
Simon
When using In-DB with iSeries over Generic ODBC everything works fine in Designer however when executing via Gallery process fails because a semi-colon ";" is added to the SQL statement as a terminator character and iSeries rejects this SQL0104 - Token ; was not valid. Valid Values < END OF STATEMENT >
We have a MongoDB connection string that we plug in to RuntimeSettings.xml during install. Upon startup, the Mongo connection fails because RuntimeSettings.xml expects the connecting string to be encrypted. The fix for this, is for someone to manually update the MongoDB connection via the Alteryx UI. We would like a way to encrypt the MongoDB connection string for RuntimeSettings.xml before we start Alteryx for the first time.
Hi Alteryx Team,
I understand that the Timeout feature on all Workers is only available for the workflows scheduled on Alteryx Server.
In a heavily used server environment and depending on how workflows are configured, can we have a timeout feature available for non-scheduled workflows (adhoc workflow runs/manually triggered workflow runs) as well on all the Workers on Alteryx Server ?
Thank You,
Nishi Jain
It would be great if we can set the priority of a job when scheduling a workflow through either the Designer UI or through AlteryxService addtoqueue command
In my organization we primarily schedule jobs through these avenues and this would bring them up to par with the scheduling capabilities of Gallery
For example:
AlteryxService https://help.alteryx.com/current/server/alteryxservice-commands
addtoqueue=path,host[:port],secret[,true]
^ add an optional parameter that takes enum value {Low, Medium, High, Critical}
Designer UI
Add a dropdown that takes an enum {Low, Medium, High, Critical}
Alteryx Server API should be allowed to publish the workflow in the gallery.
The search for replacing a workflow is poor (and I get that it is probably challenging to write on the back end) but as a result even if I type in the exact title of the workflow (aka copy and paste) Alteryx replace can't find it. Not only does this mean I have multiple workflows with the same name running around (loads of fun with lack of version control) but it also makes this entire thing more frustrating every time I update a workflow (as normally this also means the scheduling of said workflow breaks).
It would be awesome if instead of having to search by title for your workflow that you wish to replace with if you could instead use the URL where Alteryx Gallery put the workflow and then there wouldn't be any confusions about which workflow and you wouldn't have to type.
Is Alteryx looking at implementing some kind of feature to provide a preview of impacted objects (lineage view) & understand dataconnections' changes impact before it's implemented ?
Benefits:
- Help users understand the ramifications of any changes they make on other cards, DataFlows, or DataFusions.
- Search and explore data lineage.
- Easily find broken dataflows.
- Quickly determine the impact of dataconnection changes on the rest of your Site, Collections, Application etc.
DOMO has this well done in their platform, check it out rather than me explaining here..

Java Version upgrade requires LLS settings to be changed manually and LLS service to be restarted.
so every time there is a java version upgrade, users have to be notified of the downtime (even though they could move into 7 day grace period) and then the flexnetls.settings file has to be updated with Java home path.
Local License Server settings has to pick up the latest Java installation and not require manual Config change and service restart.
Installation/upgrade of java in all servers are usually firmwide Tech team activity - which are outside of Server admins control.
Java support by Alteryx - is version 8.0.212 - while the latest version available in our premise is 8.0.241. support for latest version of java - which is required for functioning of Local License Server should be prioritized.

We're looking to use the worker setting that cancels jobs that run over a certain amount of time. However, In testing we noticed when the server kills the job it does not trigger the workflow event for 'after run with errors'. That said, it does trigger the 'after run without errors' event, but there is no detail in the email as to what happened. This behavior seems counter-intuitive. We primarily use 'after run with errors', so our users could potentially have their workflows cancelled and never hear about it.
is it possible to do one of the following:
- Trigger the 'after run with errors' workflow event if the server cancels a job
- Have a server notification that emails users when a job is cancelled due to run length
We're currently running server 2019.1, so please ignore this idea if this issue has been resolved in later releases.
Here is the server setting I am referring to
Have the Alteryx Server send a notification when the license is within a configurable amount of days to being expired via SMTP
Hello,
I need to monitor which applications are shared with who on regular basis. We follow the 19.2 subscription model to share applications.
Can you extend server usage reports to include such data?

The admin (aka curator) needs to be given more control. The admin should have greater control than the users of the system.
My organization is in the Healthcare industry and we have HIPAA laws to abide by when it comes to data. Not all users should be able to see all data. Developers should not have complete control over the data they publish.
Private studio
- admin should be able to control if users can publish to Alteryx gallery (compliant issues occur when our organization's data is shared to outside users)
- admin should be able to control if user can publish to public gallery (compliant issues occur when all users can all see and run workflows)
- admin should be able to delete subscriptions and users
Collections
- admin should be able to create collections so they can manage the collections and what users have access to (devs should not be able to give any user access to their workflows)
- admin should be able to control if users can create new collections (again, compliance issues)
- admin should be able to grant and remove download of workflow rights
- admin should be able to delete connections
Get tips from Tableau as they have admin controls down with their permissions process.
Because of sensitive nature of data we deal with, all of our infrastructure is located in a restricted area. As a result, our Alteryx server can only be accessed on machines with a corporate-built system connected to corporate network unless the access has been authenticated.
What this means is that while I am on my corporate-built laptop, I can access the Gallery node from anywhere as we use Windows login for authentication. However if I wanted to schedule a workflow while connected to a non-corporate network (eg when working from home) I wouldn’t be able to do it because the controller server can't be accessed - it uses http protocol without authentication.
Currently there's no workaround and the situation creates number of challenges for colleagues using the scheduler. It would be great it it was possible to use DirectAccess or alternative way of identifying that the connection is coming from a corporate client.
It would be great for Alteryx to provide the UI to allow the user to maintain the data on the target table through Alteryx. The workflow application would be a standard way to maintain reference data.
This would allow us to deliver a quick way to interface with relational tables. Something similar to the following projects:
- django admin site
- phpgrid
- etc.
This would avoid using Microsoft Access for example for quick table edits and using the simplified Alteryx app instead
Hello,
Currently we are working on an issue where we are seeing an "inbound pipe" error during a scheduled workflow, terminating at the error.
However, the workflow doesn't officially complete; it simply terminates.
For the majority of workflows, when a workflow runs with errors, completing with errors, even if the workflow was unsuccessful, you can send an email via the events for that workflow, if the workflow completes with errors, to use as an alert or trigger, etc...
However this doesn't work when a workflow suddenly terminates with errors.
I'd like to see functionality added to all ow for an email event when a workflow terminates unexpectedly, without completing.
This way, I could set up a job to re-trigger the workflow if this happens.
This can occur when memory is swamped during the initial workflow.
This functionality would be a huge positive.
Thanks
