Storing Projects

You can store a complete IBM® SPSS® Modeler project as a .cpj file in the repository so that it can be accessed by other users.

Because a project file is a container for other IBM SPSS Modeler objects, you need to tell IBM SPSS Modeler to store the project's objects in the repository. You do this using a setting in the Project Properties dialog box. See the topic Setting Project Properties for more information.

Once you configure a project to store objects in the repository, whenever you add a new object to the project, IBM SPSS Modeler automatically prompts you to store the object.

When you have finished your IBM SPSS Modeler session, you must store a new version of the project file so that it remembers your additions. The project file automatically contains (and retrieves) the latest versions of its objects. If you did not add any objects to a project during an IBM SPSS Modeler session, then you do not have to re-store the project file. You must, however, store new versions for the project objects (streams, output, and so forth) that you changed.

To store a project

1. Select the project on the CRISP-DM or Classes tab in the managers pane in IBM SPSS Modeler, and on the main menu click:

   File > Project > Store Project...

2. Specify connection settings to the repository if necessary. See the topic Connecting to the Repository for more information. For specific port, password, and other connection details, contact your local system administrator.
3. In the Repository: Store dialog box, choose the folder where you want to store the object, specify any other information you want to record, and click the Store button. See the topic Setting Object Properties for more information.
