Running a Project Diagram

To generate results from a process flow diagram, you must run the process flow path to execute the code that is associated with each node. The paths can be run in several ways:

When the node in the Diagram Workspace is closed and selected (a dotted line surrounds selected nodes), you can use the main menu: Actions Run
Also if the node in the Diagram Workspace is closed, you can
1. Right-click the node to open a pop-up menu.
2. Select Run from the pop-up menu.
Many nodes, including all of the modeling nodes, can be run when the nodes' tabbed configuration window is open. To run an open modeling node, select the Run icon on the toolbox or use the main menu: Tools Train Model

For non-modeling nodes, select from the main menu Tools Run <Node Name> You must run the predecessor nodes in your process flow diagram before you can run an open node.

When a node in a process flow diagram is run, a green box surrounds each node icon in succession as information is passed from node to node in the process flow. When you run a process flow diagram that contains a Group Processing node, a blue box surrounds the Group Processing node icon to indicate the beginning of each loop iteration. If the process flow diagram contains a Reporter node, yellow boxes surround the predecessor nodes to indicate that the HTML reports are being generated. Red boxes surround nodes that fail when executed. To determine the error condition that is associated with a failed node, use the main menu View [arrow] Messages

In most cases, if you have not run the predecessor nodes in the process flow, then these nodes automatically run when you run the selected successor node. If you have already run the predecessor nodes in the process flow, and you have not changed any of the node settings in the interim, then they do not run when you run the selected successor node. Any nodes that follow the selected node are not run.

When the path has executed, a message dialog box appears and states that the task is completed.

Select Yes to close the message dialog box.

[Dialog window asking Run for Clustering completed successfully. Do you wish to view results?]

You can view the results for nodes that generate results by right-clicking the node icon in the process flow diagram and selecting Results from the pop-up menu. Alternatively, use the main menu: Actions [arrow] Results
