| Things that are configured to use a value stream with INFOTABLE, JSON, XML or BLOB base types that contain a large number of rows result in performance issues. Recommended alternatives include: • Using a stream • Breaking out different base types in the Data Shape. For example, keep all properties from an INFOTABLE base type in the same Data Shape. |
6. Click
Advanced Settings, and then select the appropriate option from the
Data Change Type drop-down list.
The Data Change Type determines the frequency that data is logged to the value stream.
