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.
    You can create traditional scoring models by using the SAS Enterprise Miner Score Code Export node. The SAS Scoring Accelerator for Teradata supports analytic store scoring. SAS Factory Miner HPFOREST and HPSVM components generate the analytic store file, the SAS scoring model program, and a format catalog that are used in analytic store scoring.
    For more information, see Analytic Store Scoring.
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.
