Publishing Models to the SAS Metadata Repository

SAS Decision Manager publishes a model by creating a MiningResults object in the SAS Metadata Repository. You can use the model information in the MiningResults object to set up a scoring environment. A scoring application can use SAS Data Integration Studio or SAS Enterprise Guide to access the metadata and run a batch job or stored process that executes the score code. SAS Real-Time Decision Manager can also read the metadata and use it in that process environment. Therefore, when you publish a project champion model, challenger model, or other models (with proper configuration), the scoring application always uses the most current champion model. The project champion and challenger models can be published from the project level and only the project champion models can be published from the portfolio level.

A user can publish a model to any accessible folder with Write permission, including all folders in the SAS Foundation repository and folders in custom repositories that are created in SAS Management Console to reflect the structure of your business organization.
