Managing models

Building an IBM Netezza or IBM Data Warehouse model via SPSS® Modeler creates a model in SPSS Modeler and creates or replaces a model in the IBM Data Warehouse database. The SPSS Modeler model of this kind references the content of a database model stored on a database server. SPSS Modeler can perform consistency checking by storing an identical generated model key string in both the SPSS Modeler model and the Netezza or Data Warehouse model.

The model name for each Netezza or Data Warehouse model is displayed under the Model Information column in the Listing Database Models dialog box. The model name for an SPSS Modeler model is displayed as the Model Key on the Server tab of an SPSS Modeler model (when placed into a stream).

The Check button can be used to check that the model keys in the SPSS Modeler model and the Netezza or Data Warehouse model match. If no model of the same name can be found in Netezza or Data Warehouse, or if the model keys do not match, the Netezza or Data Warehouse model has been deleted or rebuilt since the SPSS Modeler model was built.
