Batch Auto Run

The Batch Auto Run utility allows you to extract subsets from an existing data set based on either the system ID recorded in multiple systems data sheets or the phases/analysis points recorded in multi-phase data sheets.

When you are working with fielded data or with some of the multiple systems data types (Concurrent Operating Times, with Dates and with Event Codes), you can use Batch Auto Run to extract all the data that relates to a particular system ID. If the data sheet does not contain a system ID, the tool is not applicable and the command will be unavailable.

When you are working with multi-phase data, you can use Batch Auto Run to extract all the events (i.e., failures, time of implemented fixes, etc.) that occurred within a particular phase or analysis point. If the data sheet does not contain a phase or analysis point, the tool is not applicable and the command will be unavailable.

To use Batch Auto Run, choose Growth Data > Options > Batch Auto Run or click the icon on the Main page of the control panel.

You will be presented with a list of all the available subsets in your data sheet, similar to the examples shown next.

Double-click an available subset to include it in the batch auto run process or drag the subset to the Selected column. You can also click the Select All Available button to automatically include all subsets in the process.

If you are extracting data based on the system ID, the Processing Preferences tab will be displayed. It allows you to specify how you want the data to be extracted. Select the Place each system in an individual sheet check box if you wish to extract the subsets into individual data sheets; otherwise, clear the option if you prefer to have the extracted subsets appear all together in one data sheet.

Tip: If you wish to extract the first times-to-failure of all unique BC modes or unique BD modes in a data set, use the Mode Processing window.
