- DESCRIPTION:
Runs the feature process.
PARAMETERS:
filters:
Optional Argument.
Specifies filters to be applied on data source while ingesting
feature values for FeatureProcess.
Types: str or list of str or ColumnExpression or list of ColumnExpression.
as_of:
Optional Argument.
Specifies the time period for which feature values are ingested.
Note:
* If "as_of" is specified as either string or datetime.datetime,
then specified value is considered as starting time period and
ending time period is considered as '31-DEC-9999 23:59:59.999999+00:00'.
Types: str or datetime.datetime or tuple
RETURNS:
bool.
RAISES:
TeradataMlException
