Load Metadata from an Alteryx Promote Node

Use the Alteryx Promote Loader to upload metadata to Alteryx Connect for a specified Promote account.

Review Loader Requirements

The Alteryx Connect Loaders must be installed on the machine where Alteryx Server is installed. To install the loaders:

1. Download the loaders installer. For compatibility, the Loaders installer version must match the Alteryx Connect version.
2. Run the installer as an administrator.

The Promote loader requires an API key. After logging into the Promote node:

1. Click your account picture in the top-right corner.
2. Select My Account.
3. Copy your API key.

Open the Loader

1. Open Alteryx Designer.
2. Click Help > Sample Workflows > Alteryx Connect Metadata Loaders > Promote Loader > Promote Loader.

Run the App

1. Click Run as Analytic App . 

2. In the Promote node tab:

   • Type the Promote URL.
   • Type the Promote Username.
   • Enter the Promote API key.

3. In the Alteryx Connect tab, type the URL for your Alteryx Connect instance and your credentials.

   https://yourcompany.alteryxconnect.com

4. Before running the app, click  and save the app configuration to the following directory:

   C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\AlteryxConnect\Promote_Loader\

   The .yxwv app values file is used for scheduling the loader to run in the Gallery. See Schedule Metadata Loaders.

5. Click Finish to run the app.
