Once you have specified the required options for streams and connected the required nodes, you

a stream within IBM® SPSS® Modeler. You can:
Click Run on the Tools menu.
Click one of the Run... buttons on the toolbar. These buttons allow you to run the entire
stream or simply the selected terminal node. For more information, see the topic IBM SPSS
Modeler Toolbar in Chapter 3 on p. 21.
Run a single data stream by right-clicking a terminal node and clicking Run on the pop-up
menu.
Run part of a data stream by right-clicking any non-terminal node and clicking Run From
Here on the pop-up menu. Doing so causes only those operations after t he selected node to
be performed.
Tohalt the running o fa st ream in progress, you can click the red Stop button on the toolbar, or
click Stop Execution on the Tools menu.
If any stream takes longer than three seconds to run, the Execution Feedback dialog box is
displayed to indicate the progress.
