Hey everyone, I've built the workflow above that worked alright for awhile, but I've nearly doubled the amount of invoices I need to process at once and have run into an issue.
Recently when running the workflow above I get timed out from writing to the database. After retesting the issue mutliple ways I discovered that the bottleneck is not the quantity of data, but how long Alteryx takes to write it. Currently it takes 30+ minutes or so to run this workflow before I recieve a message from the Microsoft SQL data base that it's timed out. I've tried adjusting the transaction size to various different sizes but it didn't help.
As a test I changed the export of this workflow to an excel file and ran it again. As a result it only took about 30 seconds to generate. I turned around and made a new workflow to upload the excel file directly into the database. At that point the upload was less than two minutes.
Why would the above workflow takes 30+ minutes to process and upload, when that same exact data takes less than 2 1/2 minutes to process and upload when just exporting to excel and uploading that way?
Is there a way I can change this workflow so that all of the data is prepped and processed before Alteryx even tries to write to the database?
Thanks for your help.
