Create data flows based on tasks

After the subtask is completed under the data insight policy, you can create data flow tasks based on the task results. The system includes files generated by the Data Insight task in the Data Flow task as the file scope for subsequent data flow processes.

tip

You can create a Data Flow task using this method only when the task status is completed and the result file is not empty.

Tasks with other statuses do not support this operation, and the Data Flow option will be grayed out and unavailable.

On the Custom Service tab, click the Policy tab.

Click the name of the policy in the policy list.

On the policy details page, click the Subtask tab.

In the Actions column for the target subtask, click Data Management > Data Flow.

Delete Data Insight Policy

tip

Only policies with the status Cancelled can be deleted.

If the file system associated with this policy has other related Data Insight configurations, to ensure that the analysis policy operates properly, the corresponding log topic will be retained when deleting the policy, and you cannot choose whether to delete the log topic.

Log topics continue to incur storage fees. It is recommended to delete any log topics no longer needed.

On the Custom Services tab, click the Policy tab.
