Hi I’m trying to trigger an Alteryx Gallery workflow using the Alteryx Application scope and run job activities in UiPath. The Alteryx workflow using both connections to SAP and local files on fileshare and runs well both in Designer and manually through the gallery.
But when i run the job through UiPath it starts but fails due to missing connections to both SAP and the Excel file.
Looking in Alteryx Gallery it normally says that my user has run the workflow but when UiPath starts it, it says: Local User. I guess this is the reason behind the missing connections.
I have set up the alteryx application scope with my access key and secret. Any ideas on how to get it to run the alteryx workflow as my user?
I guess you could also solve this with an HTTP request activity but i am trying to avoid it as it is to complex…
Hi @robin.hagman,
When UiPath triggers an Alteryx Gallery workflow, it always runs as the Gallery service account (shown as Local User), not as your personal Alteryx user. The access key does not enable user impersonation. Because of this, user-based SAP and file share connections fail. The solution is to change the Alteryx workflow to use shared or service account connections for SAP and shared UNC paths for files so the Gallery service account can access them.
When UiPath runs the Alteryx workflow, it runs as a Gallery service (Local User), not as your personal Alteryx user.That’s why SAP and file-share connections are missing.Give the Alteryx service account the same SAP and folder access, or use server-based credentials/UNC paths.
