Import PMML Models

PMML (Predictive Modeling Markup Language) is an XML-based standard for representing data mining results. PMML is designed to enable the sharing and deployment of data mining results between vendor applications and across data management systems. The SAS Model Manager Import PMML Models feature enables users to import PMML models that are produced by using another application, such as SAS Enterprise Miner. PMML 4.0 (or later) is supported by SAS Model Manager. Models that are created using PMML 4.0 support DATA step score code. For more information about PMML support in SAS Enterprise Miner, see the SAS Enterprise Miner Help.

Note: Before you import a model into your project's version, verify that the model type matches the Model Function property setting on the Project Properties panel. For more information, see Specific Properties for a Project.

Note: SAS Model Manager does not support the importing of a PMML file that contains multiple models.

To import a PMML model into SAS Model Manager, follow these steps:

In the Project Tree, navigate to the project's version.

MMRootorganizational folderproject folderversion folder
Right-click the Models folder and select Import fromPMML Model File. The PMML Model File window is displayed.
Navigate to the location of the PMML file and select the file.
Enter a text value in the PMML model name field.
Click OK. After the SAS Model Manager processes the model import request, the new model appears in the Models folder of your project's version.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 to import additional PMML files from your folder.

Note: After you import a PMML 4.0 model, you can score the model using a scoring task and you can create a model comparison report for the model. You can score tree, regression, and neural PMML models. You cannot publish a scoring function to a database or define a performance task if the PMML model is set as the champion model.
