 How To Start a Re-run

Doing a re-run in FlightPath Data is easy and flexible. Since your assets are all immutable, rerunning has no risk of overwrites or confusion. In addition, you can start your re-run at any point in a multi-csvpath group. For example, you could start a five-csvpath group on the third csvpath, using the same source data file or a different one.

Starting a re-run with a specific file or from a specific csvpath requires a reference. A reference is a path-like query that points to a file using dynamic tokens. A reference to a specific file might look like:

    $orders.files.:today:last

This reference points into the orders named-file, to the files registered today, and selects the last one. The Rerun Dialog generates the needed reference for you.

You can find lots more information on references and reruns on https://www.csvpath.org. Note that reruns are also referred to more specifically as rewinds or replays, depending on the pattern used.

How to do it

• Setup and do a run, as described here.
• Click the tree in the lower right archive window so you can see the named-paths group
• Open the group so you can see the run directory of the run you just did
• Right-click on the run and select Repeat run

• In the Run Dialog see that the named-file points to a specific file version, rather than just the named-file itself
• In the Runs tab the run is listed with reference to the specific file version in the name
