    Note that the pipe to the File Exporter is dotted – this means that it is a Push pipe. When linking a Stream to a File Exporter you must always use a Push pipe. This is because you cannot run a File Exporter on its own; it must always be driven from a Stream (otherwise, it has no data to process).

  • Run Analysis on the Stream Customer Summary by Region
  • Check the log message generated in the Console – in particular scroll to the end; you should see messages telling you that a file has been exported
  • Now find your file - you should have received an email with the file attached
