The Default Version for a Project

About the Default Version

A default version is assigned before you can export a project champion model. After the default champion model for the project is identified, you set the version with this champion model as the default version for the project. Then the champion model in the default version is assigned as the default champion model for the project. When the project champion model is exported, SAS Model Manager deploys the default champion model.
Selecting a new default version automatically disables the previous default version. This action guarantees that the score code for a default version of the project is unique for a deployed model. You do not have to modify the application if the champion model changes since the application uses the project's input and output data.
These are the tasks that you perform to assign a default version for a project.

Set a Default Version

To set the default version for a project, follow these steps:
  1. Right-click the version folder Version Icon.
    Note: The version must have a champion model assigned.
  2. Select Set Default Version from the pop-up menu.
    Set Default Version Menu Item
  3. Click Yes to confirm.
    If the project inputvar.xml and outputvar.xml files have not been defined, the Add Variables to Project message window appears.
    Add Variables to Project Message Window
    Follow these steps to define the inputvar.xml and outputvar.xml files.
    1. Click Yes in the Add Variables to Project message window.
    2. SAS Model Manager uses the variables in the champion model as the prototype for the inputvar.xml file. In the Select Project Output Variables window, check the box for each model variable that is to be mapped to a project output variable.
      Select Project Output Variables Window
    3. For each checked model output variable, enter a project output variable name in the Mapping Name column. Click OK. SAS Model Manager creates inputvar.xml and outputvar.xml in the version folder.
  4. Verify that the Default Version Icon icon appears beside the version folder.
  5. Select the project folder to examine its properties. The value for Date Modified is today's date. The value for the Default Version is the name of the version folder.
    Note: To document the reasons or assumptions for your selection of the default version, use the project Notes tab. SAS Model Manager automatically annotates the History tab.
  6. Update the specific properties for the appropriate milestone task in the Life Cycle node.

Clear a Default Version

To clear a default version, follow these steps:
  1. Right-click the default version folder Version Icon.
  2. Select Clear Default Version from the pop-up menu.
  3. Click Yes to confirm.
  4. Verify that the Default Version Icon icon does not appear beside the version folder.
  5. Select the project folder to examine its properties. The value for Date Modified is today's date. The value for the Default Version has been cleared.
  6. Update the specific properties for the appropriate milestone task in the Life Cycle node.
