Schedule Scoring Tasks :: SAS(R) Model Manager 12.3: User's Guide

About Scoring Task Schedules

Instead of executing a scoring task from the SAS Model Manager Project Tree, you can schedule a scoring task to run on a particular date and time. You can also schedule how often you want the scoring task to run. Advanced settings enable you to set the scheduling server, the batch server to run the scoring task, and the location of the scoring results.

Before you can schedule a scoring task, the password for your user ID must be made available to the SAS Metadata Repository. Passwords can be added using SAS Management Console. To add or update your password, contact your SAS Model Manager Administrator.

Scoring task schedules cannot be edited. If you need to modify a scoring schedule, delete the schedule and create a new schedule.

Schedule a Scoring Task

To schedule a scoring task:

Verify that you have mapped the model output variables to the scoring task output variables. For more information, see Map Scoring Task Output Variables.
Select the scoring task name, and click in the toolbar to validate the input variables.

The table in the Quick Mapping Check window compares the column names from the Scoring Input Table (that is, the input data source) against the model's input variable names.

A green check mark appears in the Verified column if the variable structures match. Otherwise, a red X appears if the input scoring table does not contain a variable that is used in the model. If one or more variables are not verified in the map, the integrity of the data in the generate Scoring Output Table might be unreliable.
Right-click the scoring task and select New Schedule. The New Schedule window appears.
To set how often to run the scoring task, click the Recurrence list box and select a time interval.
To set the time to run the job, select an hour from the Hour list box and select a minute from the Minute list box.
To set the start date, click the calendar and select a start date. Instead of using the calendar, you can select a month from the Month list box, select a day from the Day list box, and select a year from the Year list box.
(Optional) Click Advanced. Select the server that schedules the job from the Scheduling server list box. Select the batch server that runs the job from the Batch server list box. Select a location for the scoring task output from the Location list box. Click OK.
Click OK. A dialog box message confirms that the schedule was created. Click Close.

Note: Scoring task schedules cannot be edited. To change the schedule, delete the schedule and create a new schedule.

Delete a Scoring Task Schedule

To delete a scoring task schedule:

Right-click the scoring task and select Delete Schedule.
A message box confirms that the schedule was deleted. Click Close.

Note: Scoring task schedules cannot be edited. To change the schedule, delete the schedule and create a new schedule.
