Overview of the In-Database Package for Oracle

This section describes how to install and configure the in-database deployment package for Oracle (SAS Embedded Process).

The in-database deployment package for Oracle must be installed and configured before you perform the following tasks:

Use the %INDOR_PUBLISH_MODEL scoring publishing macro to create scoring files inside the database.
Run SAS High-Performance Analytics when the analytics cluster is using a parallel connection with a remote Oracle Exadata appliance. The SAS Embedded Process, which resides on the data appliance, is used to provide high-speed parallel data transfer between the data appliance and the analytics environment where it is processed.

For more information, see the SAS High-Performance Analytics Infrastructure: Installation and Configuration Guide.

For more information about using the scoring publishing macros, see the SAS In-Database Products: User's Guide.

The in-database deployment package for Oracle includes the SAS Embedded Process. The SAS Embedded Process is a SAS server process that runs within Oracle to read and write data. The SAS Embedded Process contains macros, run-time libraries, and other software that are installed on your Oracle system. The software is installed so that the SAS scoring files created in Oracle can access the routines within the SAS Embedded Process’s run-time libraries.
