Eliminate duplicates

Duplicate messages from the same device must be eliminated and not sent to Oracle Service Cloud. This is accomplished by creating a second exploration, whose input is the output of the first exploration.

1. Under Explorations, click Add.

2. Complete the following fields:

   Field	Value
   Exploration Type	Select Eliminate Duplicates from the drop-down menu.
   Exploration Name	Enter a name, such as Deduplicate.

3. Click Confirm.

   The exploration is created and the Deduplicate window appears.

4. In the Deduplicate window, complete the following fields:

   Field	Value
   Event Stream	Select the name of the first exploration, for example, Temperature above 25 °C, from the drop-down menu.
   Duplicate Criteria	Select source_id from the drop-down menu.
   Window	Set the window to 4 minutes. It is recommended to set the window less than the evaluation frequency (in this example, five minutes).

5. Click Actions at the top right of the page, then click Publish.

   You must publish the exploration before you can create a format.

6. Click the plus sign (+) above Create Format.

7. In the window that appears, click Create.

   The format is created.
