Off-Loading R Scripts from Statistica to Statistica Server

Like SVB scripts or Workspaces, R scripts can be offloaded from a desktop environment for processing on Statistica Server. This is particularly useful when an R script is expected to require significant computing resources; users can submit such scripts to the server (example, overnight) and retrieve the results at a later time.

If your installation is set up to work with Statistica Server (Tools –> Options: Server/Web), you can offload any R task by selecting Server –> Offload Task:

Options to transfer the data file to the server side is described in the Statistica documentation.

After clicking OK, the respective R script will execute on the Statistica Server or will be scheduled to be executed, depending on the server load.

The progress of the analysis can be monitored using the Server –>Task Status… dialog.

The results can be retrieved from the server using the Results button (or double-click on the task); the representation of the results of an offloaded task is equivalent to the same task running locally.
