Predictor

You can install the Predictor service on its own server. The Predictor service runs as a Windows Service; it takes input from the Data Warehouse database and generates Predictor models. The Predictor service has the following single-point-of-failure dependencies:

  • The Administration database
  • The Data Warehouse database

To ensure the availability of the Predictor service, deploy Windows Clustering for the Administration database. You can also deploy Windows Clustering for the Predictor service itself as a Windows Service, and allow it to fail over to another node.

The Predictor client is implemented as an ASP component; it reads the Predictor model from the Data Warehouse database and responds to requests made from ASP pages via method calls. The Predictor client has the following single-point-of-failure dependencies:

  • The Administration database
  • The Data Warehouse database

To ensure the availability of the Predictor service, deploy Windows Clustering for the Administration database. Commerce Server 2002 Data Warehouse does not support failover clustering.
