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,

It would be GREAT if we could have an optional notes field in the gallery. When many tools are uploaded to a collection, the titles alone are not descriptive enough for end users. I have to publish a separate "menu" for reports that are available in the gallery. In some cases I have to number them. I wish users could just browse for themselves to find the application that is suitable for their use case.
I think it would be good to arranged the Workflow results into tabbed pages by completion status, e.g. a tab for failures, warnings, success, all. We run about 200 jobs in the morning and have to page through all the workflow results to find failures.
Also would be useful to search workflow results by completion status, e.g. find all workflows that have failed.
I know that the documentation shows that you can setup a worker to a specific QoS so that it will only pick up work for a particular workflow or app, but there could be a greater use for it.
For example if the Admin could control what QoS means for each definition.
I.E. Application, vs a workflow that runs over an hour, vs in-database tools. Then it will allow the admins to self guide where the work is going.
Right now there is only three levels
This was great for Alteryx public, but for private Galleries we need to distribute the work better than FIFO.
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.
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:
DOMO has this well done in their platform, check it out rather than me explaining here..
Search for Data Lineage & Impact Analysis.
In prior projects (before the gallery started acting more like a management console (still would like to see a few more features there too ;) ) , we were able to automate the deployment of the workflows. But there's no good way to automate the deployment of the schedules.
The best I've heard is doing a complete dump of the mongo instance on the lower environment and moving that file and ultimately restoring that to the prod environment (messy).
Even using the Gallery, there will still need to be an admin who goes through the process of setting up schedules to deployed apps.
There should be a REST call to export and import schedules of apps from one environment to the next within the gallery.

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.
@Kosi @SeanAdams @ydmuley @RajK @LizaNemchynova @Arianna_Fuller @MPistone
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.
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:
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
Right now we can set the limit of processes a worker can run and each worker will ping the controller when a slot is available so that it can assign a new process. However, this is not efficient and you can truly load balance because you don't know how busy that worker acutally is...
We need a way that might be simliar to how we do on DataStage GRID environment where the LSF platform balances that workload across the entire GRID.
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
Collections
Get tips from Tableau as they have admin controls down with their permissions process.
I wish Alteryx had an Alteryx gallery not only for workflows but for pure data sources as well which we can access with;
And I would like to be able to get weather data as a starter;
But especially the most needed aspects are;
Obviously 5 day 3 hour forecasts for all these aspects are another thing and probably this will generate some revenue...
This information is so essential in order to accurately forecast
Mathematica (since version 7) and wolfram has this built in already!
https://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/newin7/content/CurrentAndHistoricalWeatherData/
http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/symbol.html?symbol=WeatherData
This is the source of data; http://reference.wolfram.com/language/note/WeatherDataSourceInformation.html
Totally agree that maintaining a data source covering worldwide is not an easy task but I think will help Alteryx users and customers a lot...
Hi
My idea is to facilitate scheduling through Gallery vs the separate scheduler built into Designer. The reasons for this:
Thanks,
Ryan
Idea:
To create an IoT district for the Alteryx Gallery...
Rationale:
Many vendors are now focusing on the IoT wave,
having some examples on IoT use cases would be a nice resource for many...

In Gallery 10, List Boxes (that are within a Radio Button) have their contents sorted horizontally. Previously (Gallery 9.5) the contents of List Boxes was sorted vertically. This new orientation makes it very difficult to find specific items within the list. The problem is particularly severe for long lists, when it becomes common for the check box and associated text to become separated on two different lines.
