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've seen various solutions/workarounds but this seems to be a table-stakes ask? When scheduling a workflow I should be able to specify which parameter values to run with. Just two of many use case examples -
Use case #1 - a single analytic app could be scheduled multiple times, each schedule specifying a different line of business
Use case #2 - credentials, allow the user to schedule a workflow with their saved credentials. When their credentials change all they would have to do is update the schedule parameters
(If you know a better way I'm all ears, not the API thought that isn't a bad way to do it, just not super Easy)
I am noticing what I think it's a big gap in terms of turnover and job changes. Even though you can add workflows to a Collection for development and update purposes. Only the original owner/publisher can see the version history for a workflow. At least that appears to be the case in 2020.1
Is there any discussion for the road map to include a way to transfer the ownership of a workflow from one user to another? this would alleviate the need to publish a brand new version and then reset all the scheduling.
Apparently I click too fast sometimes when saving a project, but there are a number of times where the workflow name hasn't populated when saving to the gallery and it ends up saving a blank file name. This is a pain because I can't do anything with the one in the gallery because there is nowhere to click on it, so I can't use the replace function and have to re-save it and re-add it back into any collections that it was in.
I realize that I just need to slow down, but I do this frequently enough where it absolutely drives me crazy. Being able to change file names in the gallery would be a big plus instead of just using the replace option.
Good Day
We need a way to read a workflow log file while the workflow is running .. we want to peek inside the log file to see what is happening in the workflow, especially for the case when the workflow seems to be "hung". This would be an invaluable troubleshooting tool.
Currently these worklfow log files are locked by Windows and are inaccessible by all but unapproved 3rd part utilities .. if at all.
Often these logs disappear if the workflow needs to be deleted in order to save the environment
It is noted that the service logs do not exhibit this behavior, so the request is to
1) allow the running workflow logs to have the same behavior as the service logs
2) provide a work around to allow reading of the running workflow logs
3) ?????
Thank you for thinking about this

Alteryx server APIs are associated with Subscription ( private or shared studio) and an Artisan could be part a of either a private or shared studio. In an enterprise environment you want the ability of scheduling workflows from private studio ( automation of private workflows) and shared studio ( production automation). You can achieve both in an enterprise environment with governance and control if Artisans ( along with Curators) have the ability to switch subscriptions. This will enable them to publish workflow in their private studio for automating personal workflows and in shared studio for production automation. In this way admin or curator still control the data connection creation and assignment , run as credentials but switching subscriptions can be provided to Artisans as well.
Shared studio's private api key and secret can be setup in other scheduling systems such as Ctrl-M and individual leaving or moving departments will not have any impact on the scheduling configuration.
Within the Mongo database on the Alteryx Server, when using WinAuth, if you use AD Groups for Permssioning, there is no direct way within the Mongo database to go from the AD Group to the User table. This is important if you need to report on who, base upon their AD group membership with their associated role is a user. Example. AD Group 'Example-AD -Group' is assigned Permission Curator. The AD Group contains user 'Jay Smith'. 'Jay Smith' is on the user Collection. activeDirectoryPermssions Collection contains the Ad Groups and permissions. But, in order to connect the two collections, you will need to go externally to define the AD Group memebership to join these two collections together.
I would like to see the enhancement of being able to schedule a start and stop time for specific jobs that need to run multiple times per day, so they don't run during the nightly backup periods of the Alteryx server. This can cause the daily backups of the Alteryx Gallery to fail. Currently SQL Server Management Studio/SQL Server has the function to able to schedule start and stop times for specific job. Currently Scheduler page on Alteryx Gallery/Server lacks this feature.

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.
For scheduled jobs, there should be an option to include performance profiling in output logs globally. Basically we are looking at how we can understand which custom macros are in use, and in which workflows, and one way to do this would be to get the output logs into another tool (i.e., splunk), and then set up some queries there. It would work, but I would have to tell N developers to go set performance profiling on, re-upload their workflows, ect.
But why not have a switch on server / gallery that just turns this feature on globally for every scheduled workflow?
Thank you for attending my TED talk on why performance profiling should have an option to be set globally.

At present Gallery API events are captured without User details..
Eg:
if an Admin user changes the "Default permissions" under "Permissions" this will be captured as a galley API event in server Gallery logs..
but it will not capture the user details, who has changed the same..
Looking forward to a feature which can accommodate this..
Can we make API function available to assign specific worker node while submitting job request using api.
Can we have search option enabled in Gallery Admin > Jobs to filter on running jobs to specific ones or to check specific job schedules.
In Gallery, we can see the workflow run details for a scheduled workflow that just ran, and the only way to dive into these details is to query the database. We're requesting these details being changed to a hyperlink that sends the administrator to the information it is referencing.
Hi,
I have missing this functionality in alteryx gallery where we can see the runtime status of running app.
In Workflow result option we can view only post completion of app run.
We are looking for the ability to use Alteryx as PaaS in the Azure cloud similar to how Databricks is working on Azure. So servers spin up when demand shows up and then they spin down. Where we are not on the hook for server patching etc., but instead, we lease processing power/time from Alteryx in the cloud on an as needed basis. The licensing model will also need to be a scalable to support this type of usage.
