What's New in SAS Model Manager 14.1

Overview

SAS Model Manager 14.1 has new features and enhancements that enable you to perform the following tasks:
  • access an inventory of all models in the same category view
  • add and edit model keywords
  • manage model versions
  • add multiple user-defined properties to a model at one time
  • import generic models at the folder level
  • add model dependencies and view the relationships using SAS Lineage
  • manage SAS Factory Miner project segments and models
  • create model input and output variables from a SAS code file
Note: When you apply the most recent SAS Model Manager 14.1 hot fix (V85008 or later), you must add the metadata connection system options to your SAS programs before running them in batch mode. These system options are necessary if you include macros that require you to connect to the SAS Metadata Server. For more information, see Setting Metadata Connection System Options.

Access an Inventory of All Models in the Same Category View

The Inventory subcategory is added under the Models category. You can use this subcategory to access all of the models in the model repository in one place, whether they are located in a folder, portfolio, or project. As a result, you will have improved performance when you search the model inventory. You can also filter the search results by date modified, keywords, model properties, and user-defined properties. You can add user-defined properties as columns in the list in order to display the values for each model. For more information, see Overview of Model Inventory.

Add and Edit Model Keywords

You can add keywords to a model and also edit existing keywords. As a result, the keywords can be used with other models. You can also use model keywords to filter the search results of the model inventory. For more information, see Add and Edit Model Keywords.

Manage Model Versions

You can add new model versions and view existing versions of a model. A new version is created automatically when the model is set as champion or is published from the project level. A new version is also created when you update a model that is located within a folder. For more information, see Managing Model Versions.

Add Multiple User-Defined Properties to a Model

You can now add multiple user-defined properties to a model at one time.
For more information, see Add Model User-Defined Properties.

Import Generic Models at the Folder Level

You can import generic models from the SAS Workspace Server directly into a folder in the Projects category view. You can then update the models from or export the models to the SAS Workspace Server. You can duplicate these models or move them to another folder. However, you cannot move or copy them to a project version. For more information, see Importing Models into a Folder.

Add Model Dependencies and View the Relationships in SAS Lineage

You can now add dependencies to models within the SAS Model Manager model repository. This includes adding dependencies between models that are located within the same project, or within another project. You can also add dependencies to generic models that are located within a folder. Then you can view the relationships by using SAS Lineage. For more information, see Add Model Dependencies and View Lineage.

Manage SAS Factory Miner Project Segments and Models

If you have licensed both SAS Model Manager and SAS Factory Miner, you can register projects from SAS Factory Miner to the SAS Model Manager model repository. The SAS Factory Miner projects that are registered include their project segments and models. The SAS Factory Miner projects are managed as portfolios in SAS Model Manager. For more information, see Overview of Portfolios.

Create Model Input and Output Variables from a SAS Code File

You can create input and output variables for models from a SAS Code file. This feature enables you to generate missing metadata for model variables. For more information, see Create Input and Output Variables from a SAS Code File.
