Overview of Running Scoring Models in Teradata

There are two ways to run scoring models in Teradata.
  • You can create scoring functions for each EM_ output variable. The model publishing macro creates the scoring functions that are published as Teradata user-defined functions. These functions can then be used in any SQL query. For more information, see Using Scoring Functions to Run Scoring Models.
  • You can use the SAS Embedded Process. The SAS Embedded Process is a SAS server process that runs inside the Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) to read and write data. The model publishing macro creates scoring files that are then used in a stored procedure to run the scoring model. For more information, see Using the SAS Embedded Process to Run Scoring Models.
The SAS Scoring Accelerator for Teradata requires a certain version of the Teradata client and server environment. For more information, see the SAS Foundation system requirements documentation for your operating environment.
