Project input and output
variables are the input and output variables that are used by the
champion model. SAS Model Manager requires that the project input
and output variables be defined before a champion model can be exported
or published to a production environment. You can define the project
input and output variables when you create a project, during the champion
model selection process, or when you declare a default version.
You define the project
input and output variables using one of the following methods:
-
Create input and output prototype
tables and import the variables using these tables. You import the
variables using the
New Project wizard or
the
Modify Project Definition window.
-
Copy the input and output variables
from an existing champion model. You copy the champion model variables
using the
New Project wizard or the
Modify Project Definition window.
-
Use the
Modify Project
Definition window to add , modify, or delete individual
input or output variables.
-
If you declare a default version
and the project variables have not been defined, SAS Model Manager
uses the champion model variables to define the input and output variables.
If the project variables have been defined, you are prompted to map
model output variables to project output variables.
SAS Model Manager saves
the input variables’ definitions in the file inputvar.xml and
the output variables definitions in the file outputvar.xml. The inputvar.xml
file and the outputvar.xml file are saved in the project folder. When
you declare a default version, the inputvar.xml file and the outputvar.xml
file are copied to the version folder.
