Command Line Switches

[Margarita Wilshire]

Question:
Can we use command line switches with Alteryx? Looking to add them to shortcuts, or from within VB.

Answer:
Samples of Command Line switches:

1) This will put the alteryx_module in the scheduler with a "Now", Current DateTime, Current User and a comment of "ScheduleRunNow parameter".
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\SRC\ALTERYX5.0\AlteryxGui.exe" /ScheduleRunNow alteryx_module.yxmd

2) This will open the last opened module:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\SRC\ALTERYX5.0\AlteryxGui.exe" /OpenRecent

3) If you want to just run a module without opening AlteryxGui
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\SRC\ALTERYX5.0\AlteryxEngineCmd.exe" alteryx_module.yxmd >c:\temp\alteryx_output.log

4) Usage:

alteryxenginecmd MyModule.yxmd

or
alteryxenginecmd MyWizard.yxwz WizardValues.xml

or
alteryxenginecmd WizardValues.xml
Runs the wizard contained in the <Module>Path</Module> tag of WizardValues.xml

Returns: 0 - Success, 1 - Warnings Exist, 2 - Errors Exist
