I have a long running datajob that I am testing and each time I make a change to the code I need to run the job to see if my changes worked. Is there a way to run the job but only get a sample of the data to help speed up the time its taking me to develop and test this job?
Hi,
There might be 2 things you can use:
- Previewing the node which can be done by Right-click > Preview (also use F6)
- Changing the MAX_OUTPUT_ROWS for your Input node: this will reduce the records read from the input database
Hope this helps.

Thanks Audrey - I gave it a try and used 50 as my max output - unfortunately its still runs the full time as before.
Can you give a little more details about your job?
What nodes do you use, what data do you read, how long does it take to run?
Thanks.
Audrey
