Import a Model from a SAS Package File :: SAS(R) Decision Manager 2.2: User's Guide

Import a SAS Package File

A SAS model package (SPK) file is a SAS Enterprise Miner SPK file or an SPK file that was created by using the %AA_Model_Register macro. SPK files contain complete model information. They enable you to import a complete model that is not registered in a SAS Metadata Repository.

To import a model from a SAS Package File:

Click and select from a SAS package file.
On the Browse tab, click Select a Model and navigate to the location of the file. Select the file to import and click Open.
Enter a name for the model.
(Optional) On the Record Location tab, enter the location of the SAS package file in order to record it in the model’s history log.
Click OK.

Create SAS Package Files in SAS Enterprise Miner

To create SAS Package Files in SAS Enterprise Miner:

Open the SAS Enterprise Miner diagram that contains the model, and then run the model.
After the model run is complete, right-click the node in the SAS Enterprise Miner Diagram Workspace, and select Create Model Package. The new SPK filename appears under the Model Packages folder in your SAS Enterprise Miner Project Navigator.
Right-click the filename and select Save As to copy the SPK file from the SAS Enterprise Miner server to your computer.
Specify a destination folder on your computer, such as, C:\MMData, and save the file to your workstation folder.
