Import PMML Models

PMML (Predictive Modeling Markup Language) is an XML-based standard for representing data mining results. PMML is designed to enable the sharing and deployment of data mining results between vendor applications and across data management systems. The SAS Model Manager Import PMML Models feature enables users to import PMML models that are produced by using another application, such as SAS Enterprise Miner. SAS Model Manager does not support the importing of a PMML file that contains multiple models. PMML 3.1 (or later) is supported by SAS Model Manager. For more information about PMML support in SAS Enterprise Miner, see the SAS Enterprise Miner Reference Help.
Note: Before you import a model into your project's version, verify that the model type matches the Model Function property setting on the Project Properties panel. For more information, see Specific Properties for a Project.
To import a PMML model into SAS Model Manager, follow these steps:
Note: After you import a PMML model, you cannot score the model, publish a scoring function to a database or define a performance task if the PMML model is set as the champion model.
