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

Overview

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

Stream sets, and the data they contain, remain in the stream until you run an archive task; 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; see Rollback.

Opening the Stream Set List

To see a list of stream sets:

either in a model, right-click a stream to display the pop-up toolbar
or in the repository, right-click a stream name to display the context menu

then click Show Stream Sets.

The stream set list shows all stream sets for this stream, for example:

Each time you run analysis on a stream, details of the new stream set are added at the top of the list.

Using the Stream Set List

The stream set list includes details about when the stream set was created, its Run ID and its Size, which is the number of records it contains.

The toolbar has the standard icons and Move Stream Sets.

To move stream sets to another stream:

Select one, several or all stream sets in the list.
Drag Move Stream Sets to another stream icon or stream set list.
PhixFlow asks if you want to copy or move the data; see Copy or Move Stream Data. Select an option.

To view the stream set data, double-click on a stream set. PhixFlow opens the default view of the data that the stream set contains. If the stream set contains superseded records they will be included in this view of the stream set data.

Context Menu

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

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