Creating the repository

You need to create a repository to store all the input data.

Note: If you are running in remote-server mode you must create the repository on the Modeler Server machine (that is, you must be connected to Modeler Server from Modeler Client when creating the repository so that the EA repository is created on the server machine).

To create a repository

  1. From the Export tab of the SPSS® Modeler node palette, place an EA Export node onto the stream canvas.

    Note: If you are creating a repository for the first time, use an EA Export node and connect it to the SPSS Modeler source node containing the data you want to input to the repository (or to the Derive node, if you added one to obtain a unique identifier field). To connect the nodes, do the following.

    1. Right-click the SPSS Modeler source node.
    2. Choose Connect.
    3. Click the EA Export node.
  2. Double-click the EA Export node to open its dialog box.
  3. Click the Entity repository list.
  4. Click <Browse...> to display the Entity Repositories dialog box.
  5. On the Entity Repositories dialog box, click the Repository Name field.
  6. Choose <Create new repository...> to display the Create Repository wizard.
