Manually Rebuilding an Analysis Model

  • Article

You can rebuild an analysis model in two ways:

  • Use the Predictor resource to rebuild an analysis model manually. This procedure is explained in this topic.
  • Use the Model Builder DTS task in the Data Warehouse to schedule automatic rebuilding and archiving of analysis models. For more information about using the Data Warehouse to schedule automatic model building, see Automatically Rebuilding Analysis Models.

Rebuilding an analysis model is necessary when one of two events occurs: the current model data file is corrupt or the data used to build the model has changed substantially since the last model build.

To manually rebuild an analysis model

  1. Expand Commerce Server Manager, expand Global Resources, expand Predictor on <server name>, expand Predictor Service, and then click Models.
  2. In the details screen, right-click the model you want rebuild, and then click Rebuild.
  3. In the Model Build Properties dialog box, click Next to accept the model information you previously entered.
  4. In the Model Build Properties dialog box, click Finish to accept the model information you previously entered.

The analysis model starts building, showing the build status on the details screen as Running. After the model is built, the build status changes to Idle.
