Hi, our mash up data could and would change regularly and as we're new to data platform, I wanted to test how a change would be processed and appear in resulting reports. It didn't turn out as I expected. Here's what I did:
First Mashup file
KEY-Hostname:Server Name,Server Primary Application
ABCBRS123P6,PBJ Tracker
XYZBRS567P6,PBJ Tracker
All Data platform processes where run, then I ran an analyzer report on "SYS hostname" and mash up field "Server primary application"
The resulting analyzer report looked like this:
SYS Hostname | Server primary application |
ABCBRS123P6 | PBJ Tracker |
All good, as I expected. But then I did a second mashup file.
Second mashup file
For "SYS Hostname" field "ABCBRS123P6" I changed the "Server primary application", in the same mashup file, from "PBJ Tracker" to "ABC calendar"
KEY-Hostname:Server Name,Server Primary Application
ABCBRS123P6, ABC calendar
All Data platform processes where run, then I did another analyzer report on "SYS hostname" and mash up field "Server primary application". The resulting analyzer report looked like this:
SYS Hostname | Server primary application |
ABCBRS123P6 | PBJ Tracker |
ABCBRS123P6 | ABC calendar |
The same hostname had 2 records, one for each of the application names. This itself is a realistic scenario (multiple apps on same host) but I removed the old record and expected that the old record would not be reported again in the analyzer reports. I tried a few filters (INV latest, dedup etc) but the old record continued to be reported.
I double checked -
Does anyone have experience with the mashup process? What am I missing?
Thanks
