Stream Options
To create a new stream, click Create Stream.
If you have exported a stream, for example from another solution, click Import Stream to import the stream into the current solution. In the dialog that appears, paste the code for the stream that you exported and click Import. The imported stream is displayed in the Stream Editor.
Note!
When you export and import a stream, the stream name is also retained. Ensure that you do not already have a stream with the same name in the solution that you import into.
When you click Export, a dialog appears with the code for the stream you have created. Click Copy to Clipboard. Then navigate to the solution that you want to add the stream to, and insert it by clicking Import Stream. In the dialog that appears, paste the code for the stream and click Import.
Click Import Example Stream to look at and import the example streams. Example streams provide a list of some commonly used examples and use cases that can help you in creating and understanding a stream. Refer to Streams View to know more.
Stream List
The default order is from newest to oldest stream, but you can sort the list alphabetically using the sorting arrows by Name. You can also sort the list from oldest to newest using the sorting arrows by Modified. The list provides you with details at a glance of when a stream was last started, and finished, as well as its current status.
The status displayed can be one of the following:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| - | This indicates that the stream has not been run. |
| Complete | The stream ran to completion when it was last run. |
| Failed | The stream failed when it was last run. |
| Pending | The stream is in transition between two statuses, for example between Running and Complete. |
| Running | The stream is currently running. |
| Scheduled | The stream is scheduled to run according to its specific schedule. |
| Stopped | The stream was either stopped when it was last run, or the stream was scheduled and the schedule was aborted. See Abort Schedule below. |
The Scheduled column indicates if the stream has been set to run at specific intervals, or at a specific point in time, or if no schedule has been set. For more information on Scheduling, see Streams View.
