When you create a Time Series project, you define the initial real entity and, optionally, the schedule for generating new entities automatically. The schedule is typically set up to coincide with when you receive data feeds. You can also manually generate a new entity on an as-needed basis.

A Time Series project contains:

Time Series Analysis entities and attributes can be referenced by multiple projects. In other words, it is possible for the same entity or attribute to be included in multiple Baseline Analysis, Time Series Analysis, or Quality Analysis projects.

Guidelines: Note the following when creating Time Series projects:
  • Each time you run a Time Series job, a new Time Series entity is created which you view by:
    • Clicking the Entities tab
    • Opening a Time Series project in the Navigation View and expanding the Entity Generations folder
    • Opening a Project View of the Time Series project
  • Each time a new entity generation is added to a Time Series project, the entity keeps the name of the source entity and is displayed in the Navigation View with a unique reference number. (In a Time Series Project View, the entities also display the unique reference number of the original entity; for example (37 1), where 37 is the unique number of the Time Series generation and 1 is the reference number of the source entity.)
  • If you change the location of the data source by editing the loader connection in the Repository Manager, the data loaded into subsequent entity generations will reflect the updated data source.
  • You can monitor data compliance and basic metadata for a data source over time by copying the business rules you set to the next occurrence of an entity, giving you access to compliance trending data.
  • A user can be allowed or denied certain Time Series project permissions (such as read, create, and edit) in a Windows-authenticated environment. For more information about object security, see Using Windows Authentication Security.
Note: If the Analysis process is deleted from the Quality project, the associated Time Series project remains as an independent Time Series project.

To create a Time Series Analysis project

  1. In the Navigation View, click the Discover bar, then click the Analysis tab.
  2. Right-click Time Series Analysis and select Create project....

    The Create Time Series Project window opens.

  3. In Name, enter a name for the project. The name should be unique across all existing Time Series projects. A project name is required to create the project.
  4. In Description, enter a brief description of the project.
  5. In Entity, accept the default or use the drop-down list to select the entity you want to include in this Time Series project.

    The selected entity will represent the first generation of the data you plan to monitor over time. The Data Source0 field is automatically populated based on the entity you select. This data source has already been loaded into the repository.

    Note: Time Series projects do not support the use of dynamic entities. Dynamic entities are linked directly to a source file, not imported into the repository. Only real entities (virtual copies of the physical data) are used in Time Series projects to retain the historical data needed to monitor metadata over time.
  6. Under Automation Interval, select a time interval between data Series regeneration jobs. See About Configuring an Automation Interval.
  7. Click OK.

    The first entity generation is created.

    Note the following:

    • The first-generation entity name and its unique reference number display in the Navigation View under Time Series Analysis.
    • A project created from an Analysis process also displays the reference number of the source entity and the number of the Analysis process. For example, {1 27}(12), where 1 is the source entity, 27 is the Analysis process, and 12 is the Time Series project.
    • Time Series projects require at least two entities to provide you with trending information. Generate the new entities manually or automatically.
