Deploying streams

To enable a stream to be used with the thin-client application IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage, it must be deployed as a stream (.str file) in the repository.

Note: You cannot deploy a stream that has more than one source node in the scoring branch.

The stream can take full advantage of the enterprise-level features of IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services. See the topic Storing and deploying repository objects for more information.

  1. On the main menu, click:

    File > Store > Deploy

  2. Choose the deployment type and complete the rest of the dialog box as necessary.
  3. Click Deploy as stream to deploy the stream for use with IBM SPSS Modeler Advantage or IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services.
  4. Click Store. For more information, click Help.
  5. Continue from "Completing the deployment process."
