Adding an Analysis Process - trillium_discovery - trillium_quality - 17.1

You can add an Analysis process to any existing entity in the project. Be sure to run the preceding process to generate the contents of the entity before adding the Analysis process.

To add an Analysis process to an entity

1. From the Navigation or Project View, right-click the entity to which you want to add an Analysis process, and select Add process branch. The Create Process window opens.
2. In Process Selection, select Analysis.
   Note: You will receive the following message: "You will not be able to run this project in the background if you add this process." This means that the Analysis process will not execute when you run the project in the background. The Analysis process needs to be run separately (right-click and select Run).
3. Click OK. The Attribute Selection window opens. The Input Attributes list displays the names of the attributes in the entity.
4. Select attributes to be analyzed by doing one of the following in the Input Attributes list:
   • Select an attribute and click > .
   • Select multiple attributes using the Shift or Ctrl key and click > .
   • Select all attributes by clicking >>.

   To clear the Analyzed Attributes list, click < or <<.

   Note: You cannot modify the selected attributes once you have accepted them by clicking OK.
5. Click OK. The Analysis process is added to the entity you selected and the Time Series Analysis project is created. The Time Series Analysis project contains only the input entity and the analysis of the attributes has not been performed at this point. The Time Series Analysis project can also be accessed in the Navigation View (Discover > Analysis > Time Series Analysis).
   Note: The Time Series Analysis project will remain in the Control Center (Discover > Analysis > Time Series Analysis) even if the Analysis process is deleted.

   See example:

   

6. (Optional) If you want to set Entity Business Rules for the Analysis process, right-click the Time Series Analysis project () and select Business Rules > Add Entity Business Rule. Create Entity Business Rules.
   Note: You cannot create Attribute Business Rules for an Analysis process.

   Note: Once the Analysis process is run, you can create and run business rules for each generation of entities by selecting the Time Series output entities. You can also promote the rules to the Library by right-clicking the rule and select Library Rules > Promote Rule. To associate the rules in the Library with the entity in the Time Series project, right-click the rule and select Library Rules > Associate.
7. Right-click the Analysis process and select Run. To see the status of analysis being performed, select Analysis > Background Tasks from the main menu.
8. Double-click the Time Series Analysis project () or right-click and select Open. You will see the Time Series Analysis project with two entities: input entity (first generation) and output entity (second generation).

   See example:

   

9. Right-click the output entity to display the menus and view the results of the analysis (for example, drill down to attributes). The attributes you selected in step 3 are analyzed. If you set business rules for the Analysis process (step 5), the business rule analysis is performed as well.
10. Next time you run the Analysis process, a new generation of Time Series entity is created. For information about how to use the Time Series Analysis project, see About Time Series Analysis.
