Submission GuidelinesHello 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
I have a chained app that is running on the gallery/server. When I run it, I see status changing from Processing to Running, but the window doesn't show a meaningful message as to which app is running. Is it possible to show that in the Browser window which reflects what stage is currently running in the Chained App?
See snapshot of window below.
This would be super useful to monitor the progress of the chained app currently executing on the server.
Allow the server administrator the ability to create named, shared, custom calendars, such as:
-- Holiday Calendar
-- Manufacturing Calendar
-- Accounting Calendar
-- Trading Calendar
--etc
The idea is to have a predefined calendar that can be used, by name, with identified working and non-working days.
When building a complicated or resource heavy workflow, it would really useful to be able to have menu option upon right-clicking a tool output to add all the downstream steps to a container. With that one option, a user could then
Hello,
Current Data Connections options are limited to db connections: MSSQL, Oracle and Others.
In my opinion, it should be expanded by at least:
- FTP/SFTP addresses
- URLs to webservices or resources
- Cloud resources like AWS S3
The server should manage resources as much as possible
Best,

Gallery Devs -
When I click 'Add Tags' to an application in Gallery, the tag listing comes up chronologically by time time created, as opposed to alphabetically. It looks ridiculous to see this:
Underwear
Shoes
Dresses
Bandannas
Socks
Jewelry
This is the easiest fix ever.
When user execute workflow from library, it is better to show workflow with execution status at each step.
It will help for business to identify the failed tool instead of validating entire workflow.
As you can see from the screen shot below, “Version 10” is my latest version, but I’ve selected “Version 9” to be the published version. When I hit “Run” or when I schedule a run, it is running version 10 instead of version 9. The only way for me to run version 9 is to click on it and select “Run Selected Version” (also in screen shot below).
This doesn’t seem logical to me that the runs are not using the published version. Would love to see this setting changed! :)
Whilst executing long running jobs in Gallery, it would be useful to be able to view the log so I can judge progress.
A suggestion, in our environment, we see workflows getting into Initializing Status often in scheduler (this could be because of the environment we are in)
If workflow in “Initializing” Status > n minutes (where n is configurable)
Then
Kill the workflow, and resubmit
Ref: Case # 00260492
Currently 'Schedules' are a separate category in the navigation bar on the left, and while it is nice to have an overview of all my workflows/apps, most of the time I need that information in the Private Studio screen where I'm checking in on the run status and getting ready to schedule the job again.
Additionally, Designer disables the schedule whenever it saves the workflow/app back to the Server. This is not always the desired intent when we make a small change to the workflow/app. Having an option to disable a current schedule would be better, with the default to keep the current schedule. Also, the abilty to manage the schedule from the Private Studio to say 'Activate' a disabled schedule, or schedule the workflow/app multiple times with different inputs would all be good.
A strange issue is found that the Alteryx Gallery schedule suddenly becomes disabled. After checking with support, it looks like the mechanism underlying is using a concept of queueID. Whenever there is a network issue between controller and worker, the queueID get scratched, the job gets corrupted. This means it cannot calculate the next run and thus, it will disable the schedule. When the worker node gets back, it cannot "try again".
From usage perspective, if network is having issue, it is assumed that the connection gets back, it would "re-try" and resume.
Hope Alteryx team can help consider a fix on this technical issue.
Thanks.
Commas save lives! With large numbers, it's difficult to see what number was actually entered without commas present, and the wrong number can easily be entered as a result:
Is this number
It's hard to say without taking a really close look!
As the single user who upload workflow MYWorkspace ends up being very crowded. I move them to collections to be able to share but on My workspace, I can not see which collection they are associated to. It would be nice if there was a column displayed that showed associated collections. As well as being able to have some different types of category classification. I would want something like a development stage: (In-progress, UAT level, deployed, retired) If they are retired a way to remove them off my general workspace area.
Workflows which are scheduled and continuously failing in a row 5 times need to stop/disable the schedule. Sent a mail to the workflow owner stopped schedule due to continuous error.
For Administrating the schedule workflows this feature helps a lot. Many users create workflows and dump into server and schedule it and forgot it if we implement this strategy, it will be helpful to both users and Admin team.
Hello,
Maybe it's time to have a better licensing model. In addition of the current and restricted core-base model, why not having a user-based model?

At my organization, we have many workflows on our server that take data from one database and store it on another. We would love the ability for an alert system that warns us when a job fails so that we can solve it immediately and not risk the chance of not noticing until a few weeks or months later.
Please could all log file paths on Server have the option to change their location, including
C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\ErrorLogs\AlteryxE2
To enable all log files to be written to an alternative drive than the installation.
The benefit it to prevent excessive space usage on the C: drive
Support have advised there is no way to alter the path or limit these log files by number or size.
Many thanks.
in version 2019.3, with artisan role, I able to add workflow to collection in the workflow page.
I not sure for later version, but in version 2021.4, only curator can do so.
If I uploaded a workflow, designer already give me a link to the workflow, hence if I can add the workflow to the collection.
it goes through 2 pages within 2mins (max). it is very fast for me.
but now, I have to go back to the homepage > collection > add workflow > wait eternal time for server to get the list of workflow > select it > click add.
it extra 5~ steps. with min 10mins extra time. and if the number of workflows larger and larger,
it has chance that it fails to load the list and have to wait another 10mins, and another and another endless 10mins.
so 2mins > endless 10mins? please add back this feature.
Hello! We just upgraded to 23.2, and I see in v3 an endpoint to start a job (v3/workflows/{id}/jobs) and then another to get that job's status (v3/jobs/{jobID}). Compared to v1, I think the outputs endpoint is missing (v1/jobs/{jobID}/output/{outputID}). I'd love for this to be added so we can upgrade from v1 to v3.
