Update on Batch Execution in KNIME Analytics Platform

Hello everyone,

We developed automation via KNIME Pro because we believe this is a more maintainable, scalable path to fully automate your workflows. Therefore, starting with KNIME Analytics Platform 5.9, Batch Execution will need to be installed via a separate extension and will no longer be available with the default build.

So going forward, there are two ways to automate your workflows:

Option 1: KNIME Pro – The recommended way to automate workflows, with a fully managed environment and developer support.

Option 2: KNIME Batch Executor – For those who prefer command-line automation. It continues to work as before, but is now installed separately as an extension.

Learn more, including how to install the Batch Executor and how to get started with KNIME Pro, here: Workflow Automation in KNIME.

If anything’s unclear, feel free to reply to this post. We are here to understand your needs and better support you.
