AlteryxRunModule
AlteryxRunModule AlteryxEngine API method is used to run a workflow. Returns 0 if an error occurs, non-zero when successful.
Important
In server-side applications, use AlteryxRunModule_Pipe instead of AlteryxRunModule unless performance is a critical concern.
The AlteryxRunModule and AlteryxRunModule_Pipe methods are identical except the AlteryxRunModule runs the workflow in the same process as the calling application. In general, this provides better performance than the AlteryxRunModule_Pipe method because the AlteryxEngine is only instantiated one time.
Risks: If Alteryx encounters a problem it may cause the calling application to fail.

Properties
strXmlModule
: A path to the workflow, or a string containing the full XML of the workflow to be run.pCallbackToolProgress
: A callback method for progress of individual tools. Optional - can be NULL. See TCallbackToolProgress for more information.pCallbackMessage
: A callback method for status messages. Optional - can be NULL. See TCallbackMessage for more information.userData
: User data that will be passed to the callback methods. Optional. Can be 0 if Callbacks are either NULL or do not access userData. See Alteryx Engine API Example for more detail on how to define a custom userData structure.
