Create a Scoring Task

To create a new scoring task, follow these steps:
Note: SAS Model Manager does not support scoring of PMML models.
  1. Right-click the Scoring folder, and then select Newthen selectNew Scoring Task from the pop-up menu.
    New Scoring Task
  2. Enter the Name and Description of the scoring task.
  3. Select a model from the Model list.
    Note: When a model is selected, the values in the Input Table field and Output Table fields are cleared.
  4. Select Test or Production for the Scoring task type.
    Note: A best practice is to select Test before beginning all scoring tasks. Later, when you are satisfied with the results of running the scoring task and you are ready to put the task into production, you can change the type to Production. When you run in production mode in the Windows and UNIX environments, the scoring task output table definition in the SAS Metadata Server must have Modify, Read & Execute, Read, and Write security permissions. The SAS Model Manager user that is executing the scoring task must have Write permission to the physical folder on the SAS Workspace server where the scoring task output table is written. If the user does not have Write permission, the scoring task fails, and an error message appears.
  5. Click Ellipsis button and select an input table.
  6. Click Ellipsis button and select an output table. Click Next.
  7. Map the scoring output table variables to the model output variables. For each variable, click in the Map to Model Variable Name field and select a model output variable.
  8. Click Finish. The scoring task is created under the Scoring node.
Note: Four of the Scoring Task properties cannot be modified after the scoring task has been created. To change the following fields you must create a new scoring task.
  • Name
  • Model
  • Input Table
  • Output Table
