Hi,
I am trying to find a way to start and manage several Knime workflows on my local machine. I’ve tried with batch files to start the workflows (works fine), however I want to have a GUI for that.
With HTML buttons and “oncklick” to execute a batch file would work perfectly, however the browser doesn’t allow that. For obvious reasons. 
Is there something else I could try in order to have a simple but nice “starting point”?
Any hint really appreciated. Thanks!
Call Workflow wrapped inside a component should work.
You can manage what runs inside your component with a single selection widget combined with case switch - made a prototype for a different query here:
Thank you for your input @mlauber71 and @MartinDDDD .
Maybe I’ve been a little vage. I’d like to call the workflows from a (local) HTML page, not within KNIME. That’s where the browser doesn’t grant me access to the batch files (reasonable for security issues though).
Any ideas how to call the workflows in other tools than KNIME itself? Thanks!
@Awiener you can run KNIME workflows from Python or Jupyter notebooks. You will have to work on the ‘communication’ between them. You might write the results into .parquet files
You could try and build a Python app with tools like Streamlit and see if you can integrate the call for KNIME in that. Although for me this sounds somewhat over engineered. Also there is this example:
