Dataflow Inquiry is a powerful tool that allows you to monitor and search for specific dataflows within the system. By navigating to the Monitoring → Dataflow Inquiry section, you access the list of existing dataflows. The feature includes an intuitive search function, where you can enter specific criteria and utilize the autocomplete capability to refine your search.
When you access the Inquiry section, dataflows that occurred in the last 24 hours are listed. To see all dataflows, go to the Search field at the top of the window and remove the filter by clicking the x icon. To run a different search, enter the search criteria in the Search field and click on the lens icon.
The autocomplete function will provide suggestions while you type. If a saved query matches your characters, it will appear as well.
If no results match your criteria, No results will appear in the drop-down list.
🚀 In the Filter panel, you can run searches for specific filenames and flow models and for dataflows that occurred in a specific time slot. The search criteria applied will appear in the Search bar at the top of the window.
In the Time slot section, you can click 1H, 6H, 12H, 24H to apply the relevant filter. To remove the filter and see all dataflows again, click again the selected slot. With the Custom button you can apply the following filters:
Last event date: click the starting and ending date when the event you are looking for has occurred. The time will be set to the current time, but you can change it as needed. When done, click the Apply button.
Submission date: click the starting and ending date when the dataflow you are looking for has been submitted. The time will be set to the current time, but you can change it as needed. When done, click the Apply button.
In the Filters panel, you can run queries according to these criteria:
Integrity: this is the state of the instance execution, which can be modeled or not modeled. It can be Completed, Error, or Running. The integrity status is indicated by an icon in the Status column - see Status of the Dataflow below for details.
DataFlow Cutoff: this is the cut-off status of the modeled dataflow. It can be Pending, Warning, On Schedule, or Error. The dataflow cut-off status is indicated by an icon in the Cut-off column, Dataflow section - see Status of the Dataflow below for details.
Instance Cutoff: this is the cut-off status of a single instance of the modeled dataflow. The single instance cut-off status can be Pending, Warning, On Schedule, or Error and is indicated by an icon in the Cut-off column, Instance section - see Status of the Dataflow below for details.
Data: this is the filename shown in the Data column. Entering a portion of the filename will perform a "like" search.
Source: this is the name of the partner originating the file. Entering a portion of the filename will perform a "like" search.
Destination: this is the name of the partner that received the file. Entering a portion of the filename will perform a "like" search.
Dataflow Model: this is the flow model applied to the dataflow. Select one or multiple options and the Done button to confirm.
Advanced:
Show resumable dataflows: use this option to display dataflows that can be resumed. The total count is indicated.
Show resumed dataflows: use this option to show dataflows that have been resumed. The total count is indicated.
Resumed time slot: use this option to filter the displayed flows based on specific time frames. Options include 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or a custom time period where you can define the start and end dates of the last resume action.
In the Recent flows panel, you can zoom in the timeline moving the slider of the track bar to the right and zoom out moving the slider to the left. In this screen, the timeline goes back to a maximum of 24 hours. This panel shows the number of flows completed and in error and also provides the number of files sent and received.
Click the Apply button to set the criteria of the Filters section.
🚀 Saved queries appear when you start typing in the search field. After selecting a saved query, the applied query will appear at the top of the search field.
Press the lens icon on the right of the edit box to run the search.
When saved query results are listed in the Inquiry section, the name of the applied query will appear at the top of the section.
Clicking the green pencil icon, the Edit query window will appear allowing you to edit the saved query as needed. Of course, to edit a Public query you must have the relevant permissions.
After you have run searches on the Dataflow Inquiry page, a set of results appears on your page. Here is what you need to know about these results.
After you have run searches on the Dataflow Inquiry page, a set of results appears on your page. All the details are available on these pages:
Clicking the icon on the icon bar, you can choose to show 10, 25, 50 or 🚀 100 items per page. This is useful for bulk selection since when you check the box to select the entire list of results, only the dataflows listed on the single page will be selected. For example, if 81 records are listed and you check the box to select all of them, having 50 records shown on the page, 50 records will be selected. To select the remaining 31, you must go to the following page and check again the box.
To start, you can use the Filter panel on the right. If it is closed, open it by clicking the option on the right.
