The Alteryx Analytics
platform offers two Components:
1)Alteryx Designer
2)Alteryx Server
1)Alteryx Designer:-
Alteryx
Designer is a Windows based application that provides an intuitive drag-and drop user
interface for users to create repeatable workflow processes.
- Users can drag tools from a toolbox onto a canvas, connect them together, and edit their properties to create Alteryx workflows, apps, and macros.
- Users can use these workflows to blend and enrich data from a range of sources, perform advanced analytics, and quickly produce results that can be easily shared with others.
- Alteryx Designer is written mostly in C# and executes the workflows through a local instance of the Alteryx Engine
2)Alteryx Server:-
Alteryx
Server is a web-based application that provides a comprehensive and scalable
server-based analytics solution that provides end users and business decision
makers the ability to share and run analytic applications using a web browser.
- In an Alteryx Server deployment, the Scheduler interface component within Alteryx Designer allows users to schedule workflows to be executed at predetermined times or specific recurring intervals.
- The Scheduler then communicates with the Alteryx Service where jobs are queued for execution at the appropriate time.
- In addition to Designer and Engine components, the Alteryx Server includes Service and Gallery components
- Users may use Alteryx Designer to publish their workflows, apps, and macros to the Alteryx Analytics Gallery where others can have access to running or downloading them.
