Other Requirements

Administrator Rights

Admin access to the host server's operating system or physical access to the server hardware is required to install Server.

Active Directory Read Access

Read access to Active Directory, if you plan to use Integrated Windows Authentication. Visit the Gallery Authentication help page to learn more about authentication options.

FIPS Mode Disabled
Access to Alteryx Licensing System

Ensure the computer can contact the whitelist.alteryx.com web domain used by the Alteryx licensing system.

File Share Access

Read and write permissions to the file share.

Predictive Tools Install Install Predictive Tools to run workflows that use the Predictive Tools on Server. 
Base Address The base address is the URL that users use to access the Gallery. The URL defaults to http://localhost/gallery/ which you can use to run the Gallery locally.
SMTP Server SMTP host information is required for Gallery email notifications. Notifications and account validations are managed via email.
Alteryx Admin User 

The Gallery administrator can manage users and workflows. A Default Gallery Admin is specified when configuring the authentication for the Gallery. Visit the Gallery Authentication help page to learn more about specifying a Default Gallery Admin. 

Database type

To configure a machine to run a Gallery instance you have to use MongoDB. MongoDB version 4.0 is embedded with Server 2019.3+. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 2018.1, you need to upgrade to a version between 2018.1-2019.2 before upgrading to 2019.3. MongoDB versions 3.0, 3.4 and 4.0 are supported for User-managed instances.

  • For embedded MongoDB, the host, username, and password are automatically generated. 
  • For user-managed MongoDB, specify the host, username, and password from your MongoDB instance.

If you were previously using SQLite for Alteryx Scheduler, jobs have to be manually re-scheduled when switching to MongoDB.

Ports

These are the default ports used by Server. You can customize Server ports if necessary.
