Running a BAS
Open the BAS workbench from the Jobs list or your dashboard. Click Run.
WatsonOS will begin performing all calculations, reconciliations, QA checks, and sampling. The job state moves to Preparing automatically. Once the engine finishes, the job moves to Prepared and the running banner disappears.

If you need to re-run
