Data mining was deprecated in SQL Server 2017 Analysis Services and now discontinued in SQL Server 2022 Analysis Services. Documentation is not updated for deprecated and discontinued features. To learn more, see Analysis Services backward compatibility.
In the Mining Models tab of Data Mining Designer in SQL Server Data Tools, you can either process a specific mining model that is associated with a mining structure or you can process all the models that are associated with the structure.
You can process a mining model by using the following tools:
SQL Server Data Tools
SQL Server Management Studio
You can also use an XMLA Process command. For more information, see Tools and Approaches for Processing (Analysis Services).
