Error description

  • This PTF introduces a new machine learning (ML) model format
    (stored in USS) which is incompatible with old model format. Any
    existing ML models used by IBM Db2 Automation Expert should be
    deleted and new models created with the updated train.pyc code.
    When attempting to execute the new .pyc programs delivered with
    this PTF against old training data, the following error messages
    can potentially occur:
    1) Job build (where estimates are requested) results in error
    message DAJB773E.
    Recommended Action: Install skops python library, then delete
    your old models and retrain the models.
    2) The skops python library is installed, but traceback errors
    occur when requesting estimates via a job build.
    Recommended Action: Delete your old models, then retrain.
