Machine Learning Scenario: Phase 3 - Business Process

The model is ready to be used in a business process. The REST-API can be called from virtually any programming language or from other applications that are designed to interface with REST-API. A common tool to test such APIs is Postman. during this exercise you will use Postman to test your REST-API.

Open Postman.
Select the + symbol on the panel.

Enter the Deployment URL from the previous chapter as request URL.
Extend the URL with v1/uploadjson/
Change the request type to POST.

Enter the logon credentials.

Go to the Authorization tab.
Select Basic Auth.
Enter your user name and password for SAP Data Intelligence Cloud. Here you must enter the fully qualified user name. This user name starts with your tenant’s name, followed by a backslash and your actual user name. For example, f your tenant name is xa-01 and your user is , then you would enter: xa-01

Configure the request further:

Go to the Headers tab.
Enter the new key X-Requested-With with value XMLHttpRequest.

Finally, pass the input data to the REST-API, on which the prediction will be based:

Select the Body tab.
Choose raw
Enter this JSON syntax:

{

Press Send to obtain the prediction. You should see the prediction that comes from SAP Data Intelligence Cloud!

If you can run a half-marathon in 2 hours, the model estimates a marathon time of under 4 hours 24 minutes.

Try the REST-API with different values to see how the predictions change.
Just don’t extrapolate, stay within the half-marathon times of the training data.

Well done! You have exposed your model as a REST-API to Postman.
