Data file access

Python executable path for Extension nodes and Custom Dialog Builder.. (eas_pyspark_python_path) Full path to the Python executable file, including the name of the file. [program_files_restricted] might need to be set to No depending on your Python installation location.

Restrict access to only data file path. (data_files_restricted) When set to yes, this option restricts data files to the standard data directory and any files that are listed in the Data File Path. If you want to use the View Data feature while this restriction is enabled, you must set matching temporary file paths in both the temp_directory and data_file_path parameters.

Data file path. (data_file_path) A list of directories to which clients are allowed to read and write data files. This option is ignored unless the Restrict Access to Only Data File Path option is turned on. Use forward slashes in all path names. On Windows, specify multiple directories by using semicolons (for example, [server install path]/data;c:/data;c:/temp). On Linux and UNIX, use colons (:) instead of semicolons. The data file path must include any path that is specified in the temp_directory parameter.

Restrict access to only program files path. (program_files_restricted) When set to yes, this option restricts program file access to the standard bin directory and any files that are listed in the Program files path. As of release 17, the only program file to which access is restricted is the Python executable (see the Python executable path).

Program files path. (program_file_path) A list of directories from which clients are allowed to execute programs. This option is ignored unless the Restrict Access to Only Program Files Path option is turned on. Use forward slashes in all path names. Specify multiple directories by using semicolons.

Maximum file size. (max_file_size) Maximum size (in bytes) of temporary and exported data files that are created during stream execution (does not apply to SAS and SPSS® Statistics data files). A value of –1 indicates no limit.

Temporary directory. (temp_directory) The directory used to store temporary data files (cache files). Ideally, this directory is on a separate high-speed drive or controller because speed of access to this directory can have a significant impact on performance. You can specify multiple temporary directories, separating each with a comma (for example: temp_directory, "D:/Modeler_temp, C:/Program Files/IBM/SPSS/ModelerServer/<version>/Tmp"). These directories should be on different disks. The first directory is used most often, and the other directories are used to store temporary work files when certain data preparation operations (such as sort) use parallelism during execution. Allowing each execution thread to use separate disks for temporary storage can improve performance. Use forward slashes in all path specifications.
Note:
  • Temporary files are generated in this directory during startup of SPSS Modeler Server. Ensure that you have the necessary access rights to this directory (for example, if the temporary directory is a shared network folder), otherwise SPSS Modeler Server startup fails.
  • The temp_directory setting does not apply when you run Evaluation streams through IBM® SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services jobs. When you run such a job, a temporary file is created. By default, the file is saved to the IBM SPSS Modeler Server installation directory. You can change the default data folder that the temp files are saved to when you create the IBM SPSS Modeler Server connection in IBM SPSS Modeler.

Python executable path for bulk loading. (python_exe_path) Full path to the Python executable including the executable name. If access to program files is restricted, then you must add the directory that contains the Python executable to the program_file_path parameter (see Restrict access to only program files path).

Path to OPL library of full version of CPLEX. (cplex_opl_lib_path) Path to the OPL library for the full version of CPLEX.
