Creating a Batch or Streaming Job

Create a batch or streaming job to apply selected or all operations performed on a project to a dataset.

To apply operations performed on a project to a dataset, you have to create a batch or stream job on the "Dataset summary" page.

Procedure

  1. On the "Dataset summary" page, click New Batch.
  2. From the Choose config for the new batch list, select the project on which the operations performed are to be applied to the dataset.
    All the selected operations performed on the project are listed in the Operation list area.
    Note: If an operation in the Operation List area is shown in red, then this operation is not supported by the batch processing function.

    For this release, the batch processing function supports only part of the operations performed on a project.

  3. To upload batch results to the specified library in TIBCO Spotfire, select the Upload batch result to spotfire check box.
    A valid connection to TIBCO Spotfire is required. See Creating a Spotfire Connection for details.
  4. If your source data has streaming data, the Applying streaming data check box is displayed. Select this check box to retrieve streaming data, and then apply the selected operations to the streaming data. You can select either of the following options:
    • To keep the original data in TIBCO ActiveSpaces after retrieving data, click Keep data in activespaces.
    • To remove the original data from TIBCO ActiveSpaces after retrieving data, click Remove data in activespaces.

    Note: For this release, TIBCO ActiveSpaces is the only data streaming source.
  5. To upload batch results to a database, select the Upload batch result to database check box. When the database connection is displayed, you have to do the mapping.
  6. Schedule to profile and validate the dataset before or after running the batch job:
    • To profile and validate the source data both before and after running the batch job, select the Run profiling & validation check box.
    • To profile and validate the source data before running the batch job, select the Before check box.
    • To profile and validate the source data after running the batch job, select the After check box.
    • For streaming data only. To specify the interval of taking a snapshot to check the transforming, profiling and validating status of the streaming data, select the Periodic schedule (for streaming data only) check box.
  7. Optional: To send notification emails when running the batch job, enter the email addresses of the recipients and separate them by commas. Next, select the number of times to send the notification emails from the Send notification email per n% list according to the batch progress.
    If you want to send notification emails in the enterprise edition, you have to create an connection to the SMTP server. See Creating an Email Server Connection for details.
  8. Click Run to start running the batch or streaming job.
  9. The batch job status is not updated automatically. To refresh the job status, click next to the Batch jobs title.
