Overview

Each time you run analysis on a model, PhixFlow creates a new set of data in each stream. You can view the stream sets and the data they contain; see Stream Set List. Stream sets remain available until you run an archive task on the stream; see Task

If there is a problem during the analysis run, you may find that a stream set has incorrect or missing data. To fix stream sets, you can undo the analysis by running rollback. There are several options available to configure rollback; see Using the Rollback Window, below.

  • Either rollback deletes the specified stream set(s).
    You cannot repopulate a deleted stream set.
    Use this approach when you want to completely discard a stream set. When you next run analysis, PhixFlow creates a new stream set with the latest data.

  • Or rollback deletes the data but keeps the stream set itself. Tick the Keep old stream sets option to use this option.
    The stream set remains on the stream set list, marked as incomplete. You can repopulate an incomplete stream.
    Use this approach when you want to fix the data in a stream set. When you next run analysis, PhixFlow repopulates the incomplete stream set; see Repopulating Incomplete Stream Sets, below. 

For large data sets, it may take some time to rollback all the data in a stream set.

Accessing the Rollback Window

To undo one, some or all of the stream sets for a stream, use the

_stream_rollback
_stream_rollback
nopaneltrue
 menu option, which displays the Rollback window. You can access this option from several places:

  • In the repository: right-click on a stream name and select

Using the Rollback Window

In the Rollback window, select an option and specify the stream sets to rollback:.

OptionDescription
Rollback a number of StreamSets
enter
Enter the number of stream sets to roll back. PhixFlow removes this number of stream sets, starting with the most recent.
Rollback to a specific run
: enter

Enter the run ID of a stream set to which you want to rollback. You can find the run IDs in the Stream Set List. PhixFlow removes all the streams from the most recent, up to and including the specified run ID.

For a transactional stream, PhixFlow removes the specified run ID only. All other stream sets, even more recent ones, are retained. 

From Date
: enter
Enter a date. PhixFlow removes stream sets whose period start date is
greater
more recent than the specified date.
Rollback all data
:
Phixflow removes all stream sets for this stream.
Keep old Stream sets
: this

This box is ticked by default.

Insert excerpt
_check_box_ticked
_check_box_ticked
nopaneltrue
 to rollback the data but to keep the stream set itself. In the stream set list, the stream set is empty and marked incomplete.

Insert excerpt
_check_box_ticked
_check_box_ticked
nopaneltrue
 to delete the stream set. Both the data and the stream set itself are removed from the stream set list.

 You cannot repopulate deleted stream sets.

Details about the rollback process are displayed in the console.

Repopulating Incomplete Stream Sets

If you need to rollback data due to errors, you can then repopulate an incomplete stream set with the correct data. This is because the stream set run ID is the same for all stream sets in a model that were created during the same analysis process. PhixFlow can use the run ID to pull the correct data into an incomplete stream.

Tip

Make sure you have corrected any problems that caused the error before repopulating the stream set with data.

To repopulate an incomplete stream set:

  1. Go to the console
  2. Find the log messages related to rollback.
  3. Right-click the log message and select Repeat to reinstate data; see Rollback or Repeat Cycles.
