This funtionality is available in Data Academy 5.5+.
Somtimes, when developing transformations (in either TRANSFORM-it or STAR-it) you will find yourself wanting to run an individual dataset* in isolation, perhaps because you are debugging an error, or building one transformation based upon another.
Running a single dataset in this manner can save you a lot of development time, as you no longer have to re-run prior datasets in order to run just the transformation you are working with.
Don't forget that you will usually need "Rollback" turned off in order to take full advantage of this feature, especially when using it to debug errors!
The following options are available at the dataset level.
 | Run just this dataset. |
 | Run all datasets up and, and including, this one. |
 | Run this dataset, and all subsequent ones |
The following screenshot shows how these options appear on the Transformation Space Details screen, within the list of datasets.
STAR-it
When working with STAR-it, remember that the build order is:
- Dimensions
- Fact Tables
- Time Dimensions
- Relationships, Inheritance & Surrogate Keys
-----------------------
* The term "dataset" refers to an individual element within your transformation, including fact and dimension tables within STAR-it.
