Overview of Running Scoring Models in Netezza

There are two ways to run scoring models in Netezza.
  • You can create scoring functions for each EM_ output variable. The model publishing macro creates the scoring functions that are published as Netezza user-defined functions. These functions can then be used in any SQL query. For more information, see Using Scoring Functions to Run Scoring Models.
  • Starting with the SAS 9.4 release, you can also use the SAS Embedded Process. The SAS Embedded Process is a SAS server process that runs inside Netezza to read and write data. The model publishing macro creates scoring files that are then used in a stored procedure to run the scoring model. For more information, see Using the SAS Embedded Process to Run Scoring Models.
The SAS Scoring Accelerator for Netezza requires a certain version of the Netezza client and server environment. For more information, see the SAS Foundation system requirements documentation for your operating environment.
