Custom toolslocations

You can use custom tools to expand the capabilities of Alteryx Designer. One method for deploying a custom tool is to package the tool and its dependencies into a single YXI file. Go to Package a Tool for more info.

Repeat the installation steps on all nodes or copy the folders to other nodes. You must install the connector on all worker nodes. The connector folder is all Server needs to use the connector so you can copy the folder between the nodes to install.

The first time you install a Python connector, contact Customer Support to enable the connector to run successfully on Server.

Another option is Connectors. Connectors are custom tools that can access cloud applications and products to read and write data or download and upload files. Alteryx publishes connectors to the Alteryx Community. You have to install a matching version of a connector on Alteryx Server to publish a workflow that uses the connector. Connectors are released independently from Server and require manual updates for new version releases.

If you installed a connector as a user (instead of admin), you might have the connector’s folders installed in multiple locations. This causes workflows to fail. To fix this issue, delete the connector folder from each user's folder in \Users\\AppData\Roaming\Alteryx\Tools.

Right-click the Designer icon and select Run As Administrator. Important—If you don’t Run as Administrator, the file won’t install to the correct folder.
