Merging model and transformation XML files

Some predictive models are built with data that have been modified or transformed in various ways. In order to apply those models to other datasets in a meaningful way, the same transformations must also be performed on the dataset being scored, or the transformations must also be reflected in the model file. Including transformations in the model file is a two-step process:

1. Save the transformations in a transformation XML file. This can only be done using TMS BEGIN and TMS END in command syntax. See the topic TMS BEGIN for more information.
2. Combine the model file (XML file or .zip file) and the transformation XML file in a new, merged model XML file.

   To combine a model file and a transformation XML file in a new, merged model file:

3. From the menus choose:

   Utilities > Merge Model XML

4. Select the model XML file.
5. Select the transformation XML file.
6. Enter a path and name for the new merged model XML file, or use Browse to select the location and name.

Note: You cannot merge model .zip files for models that contain splits (separate model information for each split group) or ensemble models with transformation XML files.

This dialog generates TMS MERGE command syntax.
