Managing a data stream connection

To view the list of data stream connections in an organization, do the following steps:

  1. Go to the Projects page.
  2. Find the organization from the list and view details by expanding the tab view.
  3. Click Data Streams button.

On the Project page in the Data streams tab, you can also do the following actions:

  • Filter the data stream connection list based on organization, process, and type.
  • Toggle the data stream connection to Active and Inactive.
  • Fetch data for active data stream connections.

To view the list of data stream connections in your process mining project, go to the Data & Settings > Data > Data stream tab.

Activating a data stream connection

After you create a data stream connection in IBM Process Mining, you must activate it to fetch data at the scheduled time frame. To activate a data stream connection, in the Data & Settings > Data > Data stream tab, set the toggle button to Active.

Fetching data from data stream

The data stream connection that is created in IBM Process Mining automatically fetches data at the time interval that is specified when you create the connection. You can also fetch data whenever it is required. To do so, click the Fetch data now button in the Data stream tab.

In the data stream card, you can also view the information about the time of the last fetching.

The fetched data is stored as a .csv file in the Data source > Event log tab or as an object table in the Data source > Object table tab. For more information on managing the Data Source page, see Data source.

Analyzing the fetched data

After you fetch the data, IBM Process Mining automatically analyzes the data and indicates the status of the project.

The data results can be either Successful or Failed. To view details about the data results, hover over the result to see additional information.

When you create a data stream, either by using event log or object tables, the numbers next to the imported details represent the number of rows that are the part of your corresponding .csv document. For more information, see Data source. The numbers next to the discarded details represent the number of rows that are not imported. Also, you can view a maximum of a 10 first discarded rows.

Editing and deleting a data stream

You can edit or delete a scheduled source only if it is in the Inactive mode. When you edit, you can change options such as name, summary, basic connection properties, JSON message, and API key. You can also edit your mapping and scheduling.

If you used object tables to create a data stream, you cannot edit the table corresponding to the connection.

To edit a data stream, do the following steps:

  1. On the Data stream page, set the toggle button to Inactive.
  2. Click the more options button, and then click Edit.
  3. In the Edit data stream integration dialog, update the required changes.
  4. Save the changes.

Use the following steps to delete a data stream:

  1. On the Data stream page, set the toggle button to Inactive.
  2. Click the more options button, and then click Delete.
  3. Delete the data stream.
