  • Latest: supply data from the current run (the latest stream set). This is the mostly commonly used option.
  • Previous: supply data from the previous run (the previous stream set). This is used when you are comparing data for the current run with data from the previous run, for example, today's data with yesterday's.
  • All: supply data from all runs (all stream sets). Selecting All displays the Read Future Data checkbox, which may be used with streams set to Period Transactional.
  • All Previous: supply data from all runs except the current run (all stream sets except the latest stream set).
    From version 8.0.6 onwards, the Read Future Data checkbox is always available.
  • Same Run: this option should only be used where the input and output streams are set to Period Transactional. The pipe will only collect data from inputs in the same analysis run. This configuration support several analysis runs going on at the same time without interfering with each other. 
  • Custom: Select this option to display additional settings, described in  in Advanced Pipe Configuration, below. We recommend that you only use the custom settings when directed to by PhixFlow consultants or support.

In some circumstances the input stream may have stream sets that have dates in the future relative to the stream set being generated for the output stream. This may happen, for example, if:

  1. you roll-back some stream sets on the output stream
  2. but do not roll-back the corresponding stream sets on the input stream
  3. and then request that the output stream is brought up to date.

Some of the stream sets on the input stream will have dates in the future relative to some of the stream sets you are rebuilding.

By default, pipes will ignore any stream sets with dates in the future relative to the stream set you are generating. You want to ignore future stream sets when you rebuild an old stream set, because you want the pipe to retrieve the same data on the rerun as it retrieved when the stream set was first built.

Similarly, when you run analysis on a stream with a transactional period, it is possible that as your analysis is still running, a different run can start and complete. This run can generate additional stream sets on the input stream with a future data relative to the date of the stream set you are generating. For transactional input streams, you want the pipe to use these future streams. To do this, tick the Read Future Data checkbox, which is available when Data To Read is All (or Custom).

Note

From version 8.0.6 onwards, the Read Future Data checkbox is always available. This means you can control whether or not PhixFlow processes future stream sets in the input stream for:

  • streams → Basic Settings → Period: any option
  • pipe → Basic Settings → Data To Read: any option
