Enable Cloud Execution for Desktop

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 (AAC) workspace and then save your desktop-built workflows to the AACAAC library (which belongs to your AACAAC workspace). Once saved to the library, you can navigate to AACAAC and schedule those workflows to run. The execution takes place in the cloud—very similar to the way you can save and execute a workflow in Alteryx Server today. Learn how to link your Designer Desktop to AACAAC.

Attenzione

In alcuni casi, l'esecuzione cloud per i flussi di lavoro desktop potrebbe essere visualizzata come completata nella pagina dei processi, anche se si sono verificati errori dell'engine. Per confermare che il flusso di lavoro è stato completato senza errori dell'engine, controlla il file di registro del processo.

Enable Cloud Execution for a Workspace

Nota

Cloud Execution for Desktop requires an AACAAC Enterprise Version.

Nota

AACAAC only supports Cloud Execution for Desktop on workspaces with AWS private data processing enabled.

To enable Cloud Execution for Desktop...

  1. Go to User Profile > Workspace Admin > Private Data Handling > Processing.

    1. If you haven’t already, set up AWS as Private Data Storage, AWS Private Data Processing, and Cloud Execution for Desktop in AWS.

  2. Select Edit in the Processing section.

  3. Select the Cloud Execution for Desktop checkbox and then select Save.

    1. This enablement process can take up to 30 minutes to complete. The process is complete when all 3 tasks under Private Data Processing show a green checkmark next to them.

    2. When you enable Cloud Execution for Desktop on the workspace, 2 Amazon Web Service EC2 instances of type m5a.4xlarge (16 vCPU, 64GB) deploy for the purposes of executing your desktop-built workflows in AACAAC.

Once you’ve enabled Cloud Execution, complete the rest of the setup in Designer Desktop with these instructions. After setup is complete, you can find your Designer Desktop workflows on the Library page.
