Batch deployment input details for AutoAI models

Follow these rules when specifying input details for batch deployments of AutoAI models.

Data type summary table:

Data Sources:

Input/output data references:

• Local/managed assets from the space
• Connected (remote) assets from these sources:
  • Generic JDBC
  • Snowflake
  • IBM Db2
  • MySQL
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • PostgreSQL
  • IBM Netezza Performance Server
  • Amazon S3
  • Oracle
  • Google BigQuery
  • Teradata
  • Files in IBM Cloud Object Storage
  • Files in IBM Cloud Object Storage (infrastructure)
  • Files in a Storage Volume Connection

Notes:

• For connections of type Cloud Object Storage or Cloud Object Storage (infrastructure), you must configure Access key and Secret key, also known as HMAC credentials.
• Your training data source can differ from your deployment data source, but the schema of the data must match or the deployment will fail. For example, you can train an experiment using data from a Snowflake database and deploy using input data from a Db2 database as long as the schema is an exact match.
• The environment variables parameter of deployment jobs is not applicable.
• If you are deploying a model where you joined data sources to train the experiment, choose an input source that corresponds to each of the training data sources when you create the batch deployment job. For an example of this, see the deployment section of Joining data tutorial.
• For models trained with joined data, Oracle, Google BigQuery, and Teradata are not supported as input data references.

If you are specifying input/output data references programmatically:

• Data source reference type depends on the asset type. Refer to the Data source reference types section in Adding data assets to a deployment space.
• For AutoAI assets, if the input or output data reference is of type connection_asset and the remote data source is a database then location.table_name and location.schema_name are required parameters. For example:

 "input_data_references": [{
                    "type": "connection_asset",
                    "connection": {
                            "id": <connection_guid>
                    },
                    "location": {
                            "table_name": <table name>,
                            "schema_name": <schema name>
                            <other wdp-properties supported by runtimes>
                    }
            }]
