WORKFLOW RUN LOG EXPORT

Is there a way to export the run log after a run without errors to a folder in a .txt format from the workflow?

 

We have to upload our workflows to a prod server that we do not have access to and would like to track all runs.

In this server you can install macros? I would install the CreW Macros (Runner and Log Parser) to do that...

If you can install the macros, take a look on the last message on this thread: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Automatically-create-report-of-operati...

If my response helped you, please mark as solution!

Yes, it will run macros. However,The server wouldn't have access to the location of a saved workflow to which the runner points to. Is there another way to somehow export the run log after the run built in to the workflow?

Hi @rossjustin 

 

You can configure an event to send you an email after run which will send you the run log in email.

Hope this helps : )

The email does me no good. I need an export to a location. Thanks though.

Yes.  There is a way in the options menu to have Alteryx export a .txt file every time a workflow runs.  You can point the .txt file to a specific landing point of your choosing (although I used this with designer on my personal PC, not sure how server paths work but in theory should be the same).  Unfortunately the last time I checked there wasn't a way to configure this log for successful runs only, it logs every time the workflow runs.  I suspect with some regex parsing of the log files you can get mostly to what you need.

Personal user settings don't transfer to the server. Thanks though.
