Overview of Importing Models

After you create a project and version, the next step is to import models into SAS Model Manager. Your version has a folder hierarchy that contains all of a version's components. The version components include folders for the version Documents, Life Cycle, Models, Reports, Resources, Scoring, and Performance files.

The Models folder is the container for all of the models in your project version. After model evaluation, one of the candidate models will become the champion model. However, the first step is to import the candidate models into your version’s Models folder.

SAS Model Manager provides many methods of importing your SAS models into your project version:

SAS Model Manager also provides SAS macros so that you can use SAS code to import or register SAS models into your project version. For more information, see SAS Model Manager Access Macros.

Note:

Scorecard models can be imported using the SAS Code Models and SAS Enterprise Miner Package File import methods.
SAS Model Manager cannot export or publish models whose Score Code Type model property is set to SAS Program.
SAS Model Manager does not support tables, variables, or models that have special characters or double-byte character sets, and that were created when the system options VALIDVARNAME=ANY or VALIDMEMNAME=EXTEND were set.
