This Python SDK uses outdated technology that limits your extension opportunities. We've built a new Platform SDK using Python and the latest open-source technology to deliver a vastly improved development experience. Go to Platform SDK to get started!
The OutputAnchor
class is provided as a reference class to extend the class members of a OutputAnchor
object instantiated within the running Alteryx process.
is_closed
: Returns "True" if the collection of output connections is closed.
is_initialized
: Returns "True" if the collection of output connections is initialized.
is_valid
: Returns "True" if the collection of output connections is valid.
Checks to see if the connections were properly closed. This function should be called in pi_close for tools with multiple outputs to make sure that all connections were properly closed as a safety precaution.
assert_close() -> None :
Closes all the outgoing connections.
close() -> None :
Initializes the OutputAnchor and notifies downstream tools of the outgoing record metadata based on record_info_out.
init((RecordInfo)record_info_out, (str)sort_info_xml='') -> bool :
Returns OutputAnchor.is_valid().
Notifies the Alteryx Engine of the number and size of records that have been sent downstream.
output_record_count((bool)final) -> None :
To limit the number of messages generated for large outputs, this function will only actually send the message if:
The record count is less than 256.
The record count is a multiple of 256.
The final parameter is set to True.
Pushes record to all output connections managed by the OutputAnchor.
push_record((RecordRef)record, (bool)no_auto_close=False) -> bool :
no_auto_close: An option to automatically close completed connections when set to "False".
Returns "False" if there are no open connections to push to.
Notifies all downstream tools attached to connections managed by this OutputAnchor to update their progress to the Alteryx Engine.
update_progress((float)percent) -> None :
percent_progress: The percent completion for the tool. The percentage must be in the range [0.0,1.0].
