Reading from a Miner Dataset

This procedure describes how to read field information and data from a Miner Dataset.
  1. Under Primary Stages / Deployed Stages / Analytics Scoring, drag the Read from Miner Dataset stage onto the canvas and connect it to the dataflow.
  2. Double click the Read from Miner Dataset stage to show the Read from Miner Dataset Options dialog.
  3. Click the ... button inside the File Name field to show the Open File dialog.
  4. Using the Open File dialog, locate and select the focus file containing the Miner Dataset.
    Focus files have .ftr extension.
  5. Click the Fields tab in the Read from Miner Dataset Options dialog to show the fields table.
    The fields table will be empty when configuring the Read from Miner Dataset stage for the first time and anytime a new focus file is selected (step 4).
  6. Click the Regenerate button.
    The fields table will list all the fields that the Read from Miner Dataset stage will read from the Miner Dataset.
    Note: The Regenerate button will be disabled if no focus has been selected (steps 3 and 4).
    Note: If the stage fails to retrieve fields from the Miner dataset then an error dialog will be displayed. Select a valid focus file and try again.
  7. If required, modify the fields list using the available options (see Fields Tab).
  8. Finally, click the OK button to apply the configuration.
    If any validation errors are detected then a validation error message will be displayed. Correct the validation errors before clicking the OK button again. If no validation errors are found, the Read from Miner Dataset Options dialog will close.
    Note: To re-configure the stage, double click the Read from Miner Dataset stage to re-display the Read from Miner Dataset Options dialog.
