Alteryx Gallery Workflow Migration

[#1]

This Workflow can be used to migrate workflows from one Alteryx Server Environment to another. This has been updated from the original version found here to use OAUTH2. Not only is this more secure but this allows for this process to be completed in 2022.1 and above.

This Workflow will take advantage of Alteryx Workflow versioning to ensure that users will have all historical versions of the Workflow after Migration.

This Workflow will only work for Alteryx version 2021.4 or higher.

@JPKribs There appears to be a missing dependency in the packaged workflow. When importing the package, the progress says there's an error, and the Workflow Dependencies box indicates the GenerateRows.yxzp can't be found (see below). I haven't been able to get this workflow to work properly and am curious if this is why.

@JPKribs When the workflow doesn't exist in the Target environment, no data is coming into the left Join input (ID 293), meaning no results in the Join output:

Ths issue above is resolved. I removed the Join (293) tool and connected the formula tool directly to the Server API POST tool. That solved the problem.

Getting below error, can you please help on this

@Arti2893  I had the same issue, and the workflow appears to be dependent on two items in someone's downloads folder (zhamilton). The workflow will load successfully, however, and I don't think I ran into anything related to those errors. I noticed this workflow isn't exactly "out-of-the-box", so you'll need to tinker a bit. I've only hit one issue I can't resolve (explained below).

For anyone coming across this post, there's a bug in 2022.1 and later, and the endpoint needed to upload a new version of an existing workflow is missing. The specific endpoint is 

POST {baseURL}/v3/workflows/{workflowId}/versions. I confirmed with Alteryx support this is a known bug and is expected to be fixed in version 2023.

Hi All,

I am no longer working at Alteryx and have since moved to a new role at another company. This means that I unfortunately no longer have the raw workflow files nor the ability to update this post. If I remember correctly, that Join was used as a quirky workaround for the Versions API not working appropriately. The dependency issues were a mix up on my end. If you install these tools from Alteryx first THEN open this Workflow you shouldn't get these issues. If I am looking at this correctly, sorry it's been a while since I've worked on this:

Alteryx Server v3 API endpoints

Sorry for the inconvenience!
