Can You Import a Job from XML?

KNIME Analytics Platform

Hi Team,

We are trying to export Alteryx workflow as an XML file and trying to import it into KNIME.

Is this Possible?

upon checking in Google we observed the below steps.

KNIME does not support importing a raw XML file directly into the workspace.
• However, if you have the XML structure of a complete KNIME workflow, you can:
1. Create a new folder in your KNIME workspace.
2. Place the XML files (like workflow.knime) and relevant folders (e.g., nodes, data, etc.) inside it, maintaining the same structure as a normal .knwf.
3. Restart or refresh KNIME.
4. The workflow will now appear in the KNIME Explorer.
does the above helps us if not please provide any other steps.

Thanks,
Subramanyam Kinthada.

Hey there,

I’m afraid at least I cannot see how this can work - I don’t know Alteryx at all, but am pretty confident that whatever XML you get out of Alteryx will not be compatible with what KNIME expects unless you find a way to “translate” the Alteryx XML into what KNIME needs (mapping every single piece of functionality from Alteryx to what KNIME needs and convert it)…

My background is finance so I’d never lightly say that I’d prefer to do a SAP migration… that is probably still difficult, but way, way easier then what you propose above.

From what you probably copied from Google I take is based on the Gen AI summary and to me it sounds the AI hallucinated…
