Hello @alexrffl,
you have couple of options to schedule and automatically run your workflows:
- KNIME Server (or now called KNIME Business Hub) from KNIME
- NodePit Runner from NodePit
- Canopys from dev3lop
- use some scheduler (Windows, Airflow for example) to run workflow in batch mode
Maybe there are some other options I’m not aware of. Anyways you’ll have to see what is the best option for you and your organization in terms of functionality, budget and technical expertise. If it’s only one workflow then I would put KNIME Analytics Platform on a server and give users option to run it. Then whoever comes first to the office (or is first who needs these files) can log to the server, open KNIME and run flow. If it’s more than one and you have plans to expand it further then I would look for automation solution. From my experience automation always cuts less work than expected and additionally brings certain pain points. I’m currently running couple of workflows on a daily basis manually and couple on demand so know what are you taking about
Hope this helps!
Br,
Ivan
