Adding R Extensions

You can enable and publish a partner extension with R script.

R Extensions can help to solve predictive problems by providing the means to prepare and enrich data, as well as to create algorithms, visualizations, reports and more. You can write a new extension and share it with partners in R. In addition, you can edit a saved self-authored R Extension before exporting it.

To protect your custom R scripts and extension metadata, the files are encrypted both as .spar files and artefacts on your local file system. When the author saves the R Extension, it is encrypted and updated on the local disk. The script is decrypted before its handed over to R for execution, in memory.

After an author creates the extension, its name is marked with an EXT identifier in the Component List under the appropriate section in the Predict Room.

You can share and consume R Partner Extensions at the SAP Analytics Extensions DirectoryInformation published on SAP site. Here you can browse and import custom predictive extensions and models created for SAP Predictive Analytics.
