Create a sample project

IBM® Predictive Solutions Foundation on Cloud includes sample data that you can use to learn about loading and analyzing data and viewing results.

Here is a checklist for creating a sample project:
  • Download the default content pack to your computer.

    For more information, see Downloading content packs.

  • Open the contentpack.zip content pack and extract the source_connectors\sample_datasets folder to your computer.
  • Create a project.

    For more information, see Creating a project.

  • Import the default content pack.

    For more information, see Importing a content pack.

  • Ensure that Auto-Calculate is turned off and then load initial data from the sample_datasets folder.

    First, load the master data files (GroupDimension.csv, Location.csv, and Machine.csv), then load the event data files (TrainMachineEvent_*.csv, TrainMaintenanceRepairEvent_*.csv, and TrainStoppage_*.csv).

    For more information, see Loading initial data from files.

  • Analyze the data.

    For more information, see Analyzing data.

  • View test results.

    For more information, see Viewing test results.

  • Turn on Auto-Calculate and then load incremental data from the sample_datasets folder.

    The incremental data files include TestSet1MachineEvent_*.csv, TestSet1MaintenanceRepairEvent_*.csv, and TestSet1Stoppage_*.csv. More incremental data is also available in the TestSet2MachineEvent_*.csv, TestSet2MaintenanceRepairEvent_*.csv, and TestSet2Stoppage_*.csv files.

    For more information, see Loading incremental data from files.

  • Preview reports.
