Disabling Nodes in a Stream

Process nodes with a single input within streams can be disabled, with the result that the node is ignored during running of the stream. This saves you from having to remove or bypass the node and means you can leave it connected to the remaining nodes. You can still open and edit the node settings; however, any changes will not take effect until you enable the node again.

For example, you might have a stream that filters several fields, and then builds models with the reduced data set. If you want to also build the same models without fields being filtered, to see if they improve the model results, you can disable the Filter node. When you disable the Filter node, the connections to the modeling nodes pass directly through from the Derive node to the Type node.

To Disable a Node

1. On the stream canvas, right-click the node that you want to disable.
2. Click Disable Node on the pop-up menu.

Alternatively, you can click Node > Disable Node on the Edit menu. When you want to include the node back in the stream, click Enable Node in the same way.

Note: You can undo this action clicking Undo on the Edit menu or by pressing Ctrl+Z.
