Figure 9-23
Storing a stream in the repository
E In the Repository: Store dialog b ox, choose the folder where yo u want to store the obje ct, specify
any other information you want to record, an d click the Store button. For more inf ormati on, see
the topic Setting Object Properties on p. 164.
Stream Deployment Options
The Deployment tab in the Stream Options dialog box allows yo u to specify options for deploying
the str eam. You can deploy either as a stream or as a scenario.
When you d eploy as a stream, you can open a nd modify the stream in the thin-client app lication
IBM® SPSS ® M odeler Advantage. The stream is stored in the repository as a file with the
extension .str.
Deploying as a scenario stores the stream in the rep ository 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 Deploym ent Services, such as
multi-user access, automated scoring, model refresh, and Champion Challenger analysis.
From the Deployment tab, you can also preview the stream de scription tha t IBM® SPSS®
Modeler creates for the stream. For more information, see the topic Stream Descripti on s in
Chapter 5 on p. 74.
Note: To ensu r e consistent access to enterprise data, a stream that is d eployed as a scenario must
access its so urce data thro ugh IBM® SPSS® Collaboration and Deployment Services Enterprise
View, so in such a case the stream must include at least one Enterprise View source node within
each designated sc oring or modeling branch as ap plicable.
