Figure 9-23
Storing a stream in the repository
EIn the Repository: Store dialog box, choose the folder where yo u want to store the object, specify
any other information you want to record, and click the Store button. For more info rmation, see
the topic Setting Object Properties on p. 164.
Stream Deployment Options
The Deployment tab in the Stream Options dialog box allows you to specify options for d eploying
the stream. You can deploy either as a stream or as a scenario.
When you deploy as a stream, you can open and modify the stream in the thin-cli ent application
IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage. The stream is stored in the repository as a file with the
extension .str.
Deploying as a scenario stores the stream in the repository as a file with the extension .scn. Doing
so also enables a stream to be used by Predictive Applications version 5.
Whether you deploy as a stream or as a scenario, you can take advantage of the additional
functionality available with IBM® SPSS® Collaboration and Deployment Services, such as
multi-user access, automated scoring, model refresh, and Champion Challenger analysis.
From the Deployment tab, you can also preview the stream description that IBM® SPSS®
Modeler creates for the stream. For more inform ation, see the topic Stream Descriptions in
Chapter 5 on p. 74.
Note: To ensure consistent access to enterprise data, a stream that is deployed as a scenario must
access its source data through IBM® SPSS® Collaboration and Deployment Services En terprise
View,so in such a case the stream mus t include at least one Enterprise View source node within
each designated scoring or modeling branch as applicable.
