Hi all,
I'm running Monitored Local Deployment (connected to a local MSAccess DB file) for a classification model (Gradient Boosted Trees, Deep Learning and Decision Tree), but the DRIFTS tab always shows an error:

All the other tabs are functional (except for Alert and Integration). I've scored about 300 items within 24 hours of deployment. What could be the issue?
PS: I'm not a programmer but a researcher. I'm running RM Studio with an educational license.
Thanks!

    The reason is very likely the MS Access database here.  Model Ops is officially only supporting MySQL and Postgres as DB for the data storage.  It may work with other DB systems as well, but Access may not be among those...
    Hope this helps and please let us know if using MySQL or Postgres is solving your issue.
    Cheers,
    Ingo

    is Drifts reliant on having a model that has been running for months or years?

    Hi @dyoolyoos,
    You do not need to run it for years. It should work with any score.

    Can you maybe check your server log, maybe you got some errors there?

    Best,
    Martin

    I've tried using Postgres and followed the instructions here: docs.rapidminer.com/9.2/server/install/database_setup/creating_postgres_db.html (sorry I can't post full links yet).
    Good news! The error disappeared and the DRIFTS tab works now!

    Great, thanks for letting us know!  MS Access can be a bit special :-)

    Hi @dyoolyoos,

    Postgres 9.2 is really old and out of support. It will continue working, but you should use a current version like 11 or 12.

    Edit: Oh, I see you were referring to RapidMiner 9.2 and not to Postgres 9.2. I'm sorry.

    Regards,
