MS Time Series Model Nugget Server Tab

The Server tab is used to specify connections for in-database mining. The tab also provides the unique model key. The key is randomly generated when the model is built and is stored both within the model in IBM® SPSS® Modeler and also within the description of the model object stored in the Analysis Services database.

On the Server tab, you can configure the Analysis server host and database and the SQL Server data source for the scoring operation. Options specified here overwrite those specified in the Helper Applications or Build Model dialog boxes in IBM SPSS Modeler. See the topic Enabling Integration with Analysis Services for more information.

Model GUID. The model key is shown here. The key is randomly generated when the model is built and is stored both within the model in IBM SPSS Modeler and also within the description of the model object stored in the Analysis Services database.

Check. Click this button to check the model key against the key in the model stored in the Analysis Services database. This allows you to verify that the model still exists within the Analysis server and indicates that the structure of the model has not changed.

Note: The Check button is available only for models added to the stream canvas in preparation for scoring. If the check fails, investigate whether the model has been deleted or replaced by a different model on the server.

View. Click for a graphical view of the time series model. Analysis Services displays the completed model as a tree. You can also view a graph that shows the historical value of the target field over time, together with predicted future values.
