Inserting a Decision Point Process - trillium_discovery - trillium_quality - 17.2

A Decision Point can be inserted anywhere in a process flow and lets you use only the passing rows in the following processes.

To insert a Decision Point process

1. From the Navigation or Project View, right-click the process for which you want to split the input and select Insert new process. The Create Process window opens.
2. In Process Selection, select Decision Point and select the Configure Now check box.
3. Click OK. The Options tab of the Decision Point process opens.
4. Enter the description for the new output.
5. Create a condition. There are three ways to do this:
   • Entering the condition manually in the Condition window
   • Using the Expression Builder
   • Using a business rule from the Rules Library
6. Click Finish.
7. Run the Decision Point process. The condition will be applied and the output will be split to the passing and failing rows.

   See example:

   You want to split the data in the input entity, Usdata (31), for the Transformer process based on the address null check rule. You inserted a Decision Point process to Transformer (1), specified the null check rule, and ran the process. The project would look like this. The passing rows will become the input to Transformer (1) and the failing rows will not be processed.

   

8. Once the data is split, you can analyze each output and examine the data in detail (right-click and select Analyze). If you want to run business rules against the output or monitor trend, create an Analysis process.
