13 Rolling back Streams

By the end of this chapter you will be able to:

  • Rollback several streams at once
  • Rollback and re-do from the Console
  • Rollback a single Stream Set (a run)

Rollback several Streams at once

This method of rollback is generally used when developing – in particular, when building a history over a number of runs, when you have changed the rules for building the history (so you need to start loading your data again from scratch).

  • Open the model Channel Package Check
  • Keeping your left mouse button pressed down, drag your cursor over all the streams in your model – it doesn't matter if you include other components
  • All streams and any other components you included should now be selected
  • Right click anywhere on the model pane – but on the background, not on any modelling component
  • From the menu select Rollback Selected Objects
  • Roll back the streams using the options:
    • Rollback all data
    • Untick Keep Old Stream Sets
  • A log entry will be produced telling you what data has been cleared – in this case, all data in all selected components in the model

Rolling back (and re-running) from the Console

This method of rollback is generally used when testing – in particular, when a run was only partially successful, but you have changed the rules in the parts of the model that were successful (so you want to re-load these).

  • Open the model Channel Package Check
  • Run the stream Channel List Reconciliation
  • Open the Console and find the log for the analysis run
  • Double click on this entry
  • Go to the Stream Sets tab
  • You will find two buttons:
  • - Rollback all data...
  •  - Rollback data and run the analysis again...

Use the button Rollback data and run the analysis again... to repeat the analysis run from the previous exercise.

Rollback a single stream set (a run)

This method of rollback is commonly used when testing a large model. If a single component has been updated and you want to re-run it without causing the rest of the model to re-run, then this approach is suitable.

  • Open the model Channel Package Check
  • Right-click on Latest Package Update
  • Select Rollback
  • Accept the default options (the Keep Old Stream Sets flag is ticked)
  • When the rollback has completed, look at the stream set list for this stream – you will see a single stream set (the most recent one) is yellow
  • Run analysis on this stream
  • The yellow (incomplete) stream set will be rebuilt – but this run will not cause any of the stream's predecessors to run
