This page is for data modellers who want to view and manage data in tables.

Overview

Each time you run analysis on a model, PhixFlow creates a new set of data in each table; see Table. A recordset is a collection of data in a table for a given period. 

Recordsets, and the data they contain, remain in the table until you run an archive task; archive the data (see Task) or manually remove it (see rolling back record sets below). 

If there is a problem during the analysis run, you may find that a recordset has incorrect or missing data, usually indicated by a yellow highlight in the recordset list. To fix recordsets, you can undo the analysis by running rollback ; see Rollback Recordsetsor if you fix the issue and re-run analysis PhixFlow will attempt to repair the recordset.

   2. Drag 

      Insert excerpt
      _recordset_move _recordset_move nopanel true

       to over another table icon or on the analysis model or into a recordset list. 
   3. PhixFlow asks if you want to copy or move the data;
   4. Select an option. For more information see Copying or Moving Table Data. Select an option.

   Viewing Recordset Data

   To view the recordset data, double-click on a recordset. PhixFlow opens the default view of the data that the recordset contains. If the recordset contains superseded records they will be included in this view of the recordset data, indicated by a grey background.

   Rolling Back Recordsets

   For non-transactional tables, which have a Period of Daily, Monthly or Variable, you can back-out the changes to data caused by an analysis run. This resets the data to a previous recordset; see See Rollback Recordsets.

   Warning

   Do not roll back recordsets in transactional tables. For tables with a Period of Transactional rollback with caution as individual records are updated overtime and can current records can be distributed across multiple record sets. For example, an application users make individual user edits to records record in the table. This means PhixFlow cannot rollback to a recordset in all tables where the data is consistent.  , this can be in a record set that is not the most recent.

   Context Menu

   In the recordset list, right-click on a recordset to display the context menu. The options are:

   • Show Log File: display the log file for the analysis run that generated this recordset.
   • Rollback Recordset: rollback this recordset, and all recordsets that come after it; see Rollback Recordsets.
   • Show Recordset Data: display a table showing the data in the recordset.
   • Reprocess Recordset: this option is available for incomplete recordsets in an transactional table. Rerun the current recordset.
