Hi All, 

 

I have used run command tool in workflow, but now internal server team confirmed we are not supposed to use run command tool in alteryx. Is there any other can I use. I want to use blow configuration.

Hi @NiranjanK1 

 

Usually the same thing that can be done with the command tool also can be done with the python tool.

@NiranjanK1 yes, but this cscript is performing some specific task with these arguments, right?

 

You gonna need to translate this task to python language.
