Running a data flow

Use the Call instruction with the Data-Decision-DDF-RunOptions.pxStartRun and Data-Decision-DDF-RunOptions.pxRunDDFWithProgressPage activities, or the DataFlow-Execute method to trigger a data flow run.

  1. Create an instance of the Activity rule by clicking Records Explorer > Technical > Activity .

  2. In the activity steps, enter one of the following methods:

    • Data-Decision-DDF-RunOptions.pxStartRun - Triggers a data flow run. The activity queues the data flow run and most likely will finish before the data flow run does.

    • Data-Decision-DDF-RunOptions.pxRunDDFWithProgressPage - Triggers a data flow run and creates the progress page so that the data flow can be monitored.

  3. Click the arrow to the left of the Method field to expand the method and specify its parameters.

  4. Click Save.
