Overview of Deployed Components for In-Database Processing

The following components are deployed:
  • the SAS 9.2 Formats Library for Netezza. The SAS 9.2 Formats Library for Netezza contains many of the formats that are available in Base SAS and processes any formats that might be included in your scoring model.
    Note: This library is also used by the %INDNZ_PUBLISH_FORMATS macro and the SAS_PUT() function. For more information about these features, see "Deploying and Using SAS Formats in Netezza" in SAS/ACCESS 9.2 for Relational Databases: Reference.
  • the SAS Accelerator Publishing Agent. The SAS Accelerator Publishing Agent contains all the macros that are needed for publishing your scoring models:
    • %INDNZ_PUBLISH_JAZLIB (TwinFin systems only). The %INDNZ_PUBLISH_JAZLIB macro publishes the SAS 9.2 Formats Library for Netezza as a shared library in a database.
    • %INDNZ_PUBLISH_COMPILEUDF. The %INDNZ_PUBLISH_COMPILEUDF macro creates the SAS_COMPILEUDF, SAS_DIRECTORYUDF, and SAS_HEXTOTEXTUDF functions that are needed to facilitate scoring model publishing.
    • %INDNZ_PUBLISH_MODEL. The %INDNZ_PUBLISH_MODEL macro publishes your scoring model.
    The %INDNZ_PUBLISH_JAZLIB macro and the %INDNZ_PUBLISH_COMPILEUDF macro, if needed, must be run before you can publish your scoring models. Otherwise, the %INDNZ_PUBLISH_MODEL macro will fail. The %INDNZ_PUBLISH_JAZLIB and %INDNZ_PUBLISH_COMPILEUDF macros are typically run by your system or database administrator.
Components that are deployed to Netezza for in-database processing are contained in a self-extracting TAR file on the SAS Software Depot.
