Editing SuperNodes

Once you have created a SuperNode, you can examine it more closely by zooming in to it; if the SuperNode is locked, you will be prompted to enter the password. See the topic Editing a locked SuperNode for more information.

To view the contents of a SuperNode, you can use the zoom-in icon from the IBM® SPSS® Modeler toolbar, or the following method:

  1. Right-click a SuperNode.
  2. From the context menu, choose Zoom In.

The contents of the selected SuperNode will be displayed in a slightly different IBM SPSS Modeler environment, with connectors showing the flow of data through the stream or stream fragment. At this level on the stream canvas, there are several tasks that you can perform:

  • Modify the SuperNode type—source, process, or terminal.
  • Create parameters or edit the values of a parameter. Parameters are used in scripting and CLEM expressions.
  • Specify caching options for the SuperNode and its subnodes.
  • Create or modify a SuperNode script (terminal SuperNodes only).
