By default, the FIPS installer recommends a different install location than the non-FIPS installer, but you can manually change it. If you change the install location, ensure it is NOT the same location as the non-FIPS Designer. If you install Alteryx Designer FIPS to the same location as a non-FIPS Admin Designer, your installation, as well as custom files and data that might be within that folder, will be significantly corrupted.
Please note that specific tools and features might be limited or unavailable in Alteryx Designer-FIPS . Over time, we will continue to evaluate which tools and features to make available again in future Alteryx Designer-FIPS releases.
Schedule and run your Designer Desktop-built workflows in the cloud. Cloud Execution for Desktop lets you link your Alteryx Designer Desktop instance to an Alteryx Analytics Cloud Platform (AACP) workspace and then save your desktop-built workflows to the AACP library (which belongs to your AACP workspace). Once saved to the library, you can navigate to AACP and schedule those workflows to run.
The Control Container tool is a brand new tool available via the Developer tool category in Designer. Control Containers allow you to build more dynamic and complex processes with better orchestration, logging, and conditional execution.
Manage the sequence in which tools run in your workflow. For example, you can use Control Containers to sequence outputs to different sheets within the same Excel workbook or even output a file in a workflow and use that same file as input later in the same workflow!
You can now also use the Select tool (and other tools with embedded select functionality) to adjust the size of DateTime and Time data to contain your desired precision. This functionality is also available via other tools where you can select field size, like Formula and Generate Rows.
The Force SQL WChar Support option is now available via the Output Data tool for Oracle OCI connections. This option lets you force all char fields to output to WString to handle multi-byte characters.
The initial release of Dark Mode is a Beta release. Only certain Designer interface components have been converted to Dark Mode. Additionally, you might see certain components (including many tool configurations) that are currently only partially converted to Dark Mode. We will continue to include additional elements for Dark Mode in future releases.
Alteryx now supports the Denodo platform connection. You can use standard workflow processing and In-Database workflow processing tools to read and write your data. For more information, go to Denodo.
You can now connect DCM to your AWS Secrets Manager instance and then fetch authentication data from AWS Secrets Manager for your workflow. For information on how to configure AWS Secrets Manager, go to AWS Secrets Manager Configuration.
Upgraded R to 4.2.3 from 4.1.3 in Patch 2023.1.1.200. Go to CRAN to find out what is new in R. Follow this guide to download and install the new version to make use of custom R code in Designer. The new version lets you continue to download R packages from CRAN.
As of the 2023.1 release, Alteryx Intelligence Suite uses new installer technology. The updated installer detects your operating system language and installs the product in that language (if applicable).
Added an image enhancement step to the Image Processing tool. Enhance increases image resolution of your scanned documents. Use Enhance to improve the results of your computer vision tasks.
Added an Apply First Page of Annotations in Image Template to All Pages checkbox to the PDF to Text and Image to Text tools. Use this checkbox to apply the first page of annotations from the Image Template tool to all pages in batch processing.
For a period of two years from the date of release of Alteryx version 2021.2 (the "Extended Support Period"), Alteryx was providing customer technical support for 32-bit connections. If you currently use 32-bit connections, you will get an error message and will no longer be able to use those connections. Go to End of Support for 32-Bit Database Connections FAQs for more details.
Connecting to HIVE in the 2022.1 version of both Server and Designer (using MIT authentication) results in an error. The resolution for this defect requires an additional step from the user. Reach out to Customer Support via Mission Control for instructions on how to apply the fix.
When attempting to write to MySQL with the output option "Update: Insert if New" you get an error if the table has a composite primary key of multiple fields and none of the data have changed in the row.
Input Data tool trailing spaces removed if size is less than 40. NCHAR and CHAR from Oracle are now translated as WString and String. Varchar2, Varchar, and LONG are translated as V_String and V_WString.
If you encounter this error: "Error: Select (8): Internal Error: Attempt to read past the end of a blob.", you can address it in Simba MongoDB ODBC driver. Increase the value for "Advanced option Binary column size" from default to a higher value, like 262136.
Depending on upstream mail server configuration, attaching files to an email sent with the Email tool or Email Events in Designer/Server 2022.3+ can result in unsent emails, possibly with attendant Non-Delivery Report (NDR) Delivery Status Notifications coming back from addressee mail servers (example: "550 5.6.11 The mail client submitted this message with bare line feeds, which cannot be sent via SMTP protocol DATA command and receiving system does not support BDAT").
Note: Alteryx Server relies upon the native Windows SChannel implementation for inbound TLS/HTTPS and TLS Service Layer communications. In a networking context, OpenSSL is used only in 1) outbound connections occurring as a result of Engine/AMP/SDK-tool execution during workflow runs, and 2) outbound connections to alteryx.com and flexnetoperations.com for licensing and activation.
Beginning with the 2021.4 major release, Alteryx provides technical product support on each major version of the Alteryx Desktop and On-Premises products for a period of 24 months from the release date. Previous versions are supported for 18 months from the release date. The end of Support for all stable/minor releases matches the End of Support date of the major release.
Alteryx supports Self-Managed Designer Cloud (formerly Trifacta Enterprise Edition) software for 16 months from the release date. The end of support for all stable/minor releases matches the End of Support date of the major release.
***As of the 2021.2 release, there is a separate installer for Alteryx Intelligence Suite. Your major version of Intelligence Suite must match your Designer major version. The End of Support date for Intelligence Suite is the same as the matching Designer major version. Intelligence Suite isn't FIPS capable.
Alteryx is committed to ensuring that workflows created in legacy versions of Alteryx Designer will continue to work as expected with newer versions of Alteryx Designer. Alteryx will identify any known workflow compatibility issues.
With the release of 11.7, a user may convert workflows created in a newer version of Alteryx Designer for use in an older version of Alteryx Designer. In this 'downgrade' scenario, a dialog asks the user to confirm or cancel the conversion process. Conversions performed in this manner are not fully tested for compatibility.
For Alteryx Designer users who also use Alteryx Server, Alteryx is also committed to ensuring that in an upgrade scenario, legacy versions of Alteryx Designer can successfully connect to and use the newest Alteryx Server version. Therefore, it is always recommended to upgrade Alteryx Server first and upgrade the Alteryx Designer installations thereafter. Alteryx will identify any known upgrade compatibility issues for supported versions and share them in the Upgrade Considerations section in the Release Notes.
Alteryx will continue to support Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, including the evaluation of product defects that are directly attributed to these operating systems through the end of 2020. Support will officially end at the beginning of 2021. Learn more here.
Alteryx version 2021.2 will be the last version that contains functionality to connect to 32-bit data sources. If you are currently using 32-bit connections, you will not be able to utilize those same connections in 2021.3. Learn more here.
Vendors might provide an update to web browsers that results in compatibility issues with the browser version used by Alteryx in the development and pre-release testing. Alteryx takes reasonable steps to mitigate this risk but we also encourage you to be mindful of browser versions used within your organization and manage your deployment of Alteryx accordingly.
All of Alteryx's products run in modern virtualized environments that are properly configured. Support also depends on using a supported and properly configured Windows operating system that also meets or exceeds minimum OS hardware environments.
In the case of the user-managed instance, Alteryx doesn't provide support. We do ensure that users are able to successfully connect to their own instance of MongoDB to manage their Server users and metadata.
In the case of the user-managed instance, Alteryx doesn't provide support. We do ensure that users are able to successfully connect to their own instance of SQL DB to manage their Server users and metadata.
I am new to using Alteryx server. My understanding published version is like production version to run when scheduled. Latest version is like current working version and will not be a production copy unless I make it as a published version. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. I tried to run the workflow on schedule and latest version ran but not the published version. Is this expected? Then what is the use of 2 separate versions no matter what if latest version is running always?
