Hey guys.

I have this node that contains a lot of BRD files as input, which takes forever to run.
The thing is that the data in the node does never change, as it is historical data.

Is there a ways to keep the data in this particular data and prevent it to refresh every time when running other nodes in the graph.

The solution is spelled: Checkpoint

A couple of thoughts that might be helpful in addition to that very useful Checkpoint node.

It is often useful and helpful to move the data acquisition processing to a separate graph so that running that graph can be managed independently from the graph or graphs processing the data.

A couple additional options are available when the LAE server is running on a Unix/Linux server (not Windows). The "BRD File" node has two options that can be set to true making it to execute very quickly. On the Parameters 1 tab the property NoWrite can be set to true which allows the LAE server to avoid creating additional data on the disk. On the same tab, and this one can cause confusion, the NoRecordCounts can be set to true which tells the LAE server not to take time counting the records. The confusion is due to incorrectly showing the number of records as zero regardless of the actual number of records.
