Overview

SAS Model Manager 12.3 has the following new features and enhancements:
  • ability to create and manage multiple projects in a control group
  • enhanced performance monitoring and reporting
  • support for SAS Enterprise Miner Random Forest and SAS/ETS models
  • ability to manage models published to a database
  • support for multiple SAS application servers
  • ability to add folders, projects, versions, and to set properties by using macros
  • ability to create and view reports within a workflow activity

Create and Manage Multiple Projects in a Control Group

SAS Model Manager enables you to create multiple projects in a control group. Additional versions can then be created for all projects within the control group. Champion models for all projects within the control group can be monitored for performance, and published to the SAS Metadata Repository. For more information, see Overview of Project Control Groups.

Enhanced Performance Monitoring and Reporting

The following enhancements have been made to performance monitoring and reporting:
  • ability to schedule a performance task for a certain date and time on available servers, and to specify where to save the performance job
  • support for multiple data sources and collection dates when defining a performance task at the project level
  • ability to delete performance summary data sets
For more information, see Schedule Performance Monitoring Tasks, Run the Define Performance Task Wizard, and Delete Performance Summary Data Sets.

Support for SAS Enterprise Miner Random Forest and SAS/ETS Models

SAS Model Manager supports importing SAS Enterprise Miner Random Forest (HPFOREST), as well as SAS/ETS COUNTREG and SEVERITY models that are contained in a SAS package (SPK) file. Macros have been added to generate the score code for SAS/ETS COUNTREG and SEVERITY models. The models can then be registered in the SAS Metadata Repository. For more information, see Macros for Generating Score Code and Importing Models.

Manage Models Published to a Database

You can view the publish history for champion and challenger models, as well as remove the published models from a database. For more information, see View Publish History and Remove Models from a Database.

Support for Multiple SAS Application Servers

When scoring a model, retraining a model, or monitoring performance of champion and challenger models, you can select the SAS Application Server. For more information, see Create a Scoring Task,Define a Model Retrain Task, and Run the Define Performance Task Wizard.

Add Folders, Projects, Versions, and Set Properties By Using Macros

SAS Model Manager provides macros that you can use to programmatically add folders, projects, and versions to the Project Tree, and to set project and version properties. For more information, see Macros for Adding Folders, Projects, Versions, and Setting Properties.

Create and View Reports within a Workflow Activity

When the Create and View Reports model management component is associated with a workflow activity, you can create model comparison reports, performance monitoring reports, and a workflow milestones report using the SAS Model Manager Workflow Console. For more information, see Using Workflow Console.

View the Process Flow Diagram for a Workflow

You define a process flow diagram when you create a workflow definition using SAS Workflow Studio. The process flow diagram is displayed when you select a workflow in the SAS Model Manager Workflow Console. For more information, see Using Workflow Console.
