EncoderStore - Global
The EncoderStore API provides methods to store and retrieve encoders.
This API requires the Predictive Intelligence plugin (com.glide.platform_ml) and is provided within the sn_ml namespace.
Parent Topic:Server API reference
EncoderStore - add(Object mlEncoder)
Adds a new encoder object to the store and returns a unique name.
Note: Label values do not need to be unique. For example, if you run this method with the same label 10 times, this method adds 10 different uniquely-named objects to the store.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| String | System-generated solution name. |
The following example shows how to add an encoder to the store. Use Encoder - submitTrainingJob() to run the training job after adding it to the store.
// Create a dataset var myData = new sn_ml.DatasetDefinition({
'tableName' : 'incident', 'fieldNames' : ['assignment_group', 'short_description', 'description'], 'encodedQuery' : 'activeANYTHING'
});
// Create a solution var myEncoder = new sn_ml.Encoder({
'label': "my encoder definition", 'datasets' : [myData], 'predictedFieldName' : 'assignment_group', 'inputFieldNames':['short_description']
});
// Add the encoder to the store to later be able to retrieve it.var my_unique_name = sn_ml.EncoderStore.add(myEncoder);EncoderStore - deleteObject(String name)
Removes a specified encoder object from the store.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | String | Name of the Encoder() object to be deleted. |
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| None |
The following example shows how to delete an encoder from the store.
sn_ml.EncoderStore.deleteObject("ml_sn_global_global_encoder");EncoderStore - get(String name)
Gets an encoder object from a store.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | String | Name of an encoder in a store. |
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Object | Encoder object. Returns an error if the object does not exist. |
The following example shows how to get an encoder object from the store using the get() method and view its training status using the Encoder - getActiveVersion() and EncoderVersion - getStatus() methods.
// Get statusvar myEncoder = sn_ml.EncoderStore.get('ml_incident_categorization');
gs.print(JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(myEncoder.getActiveVersion().getStatus(), null, 2)));Output:
{ "state":"solution_complete", "percentComplete":"100", "hasJobEnded":"true"}EncoderStore - getAllNames(Object options)
Gets the names of all encoder definition records in the store.

# EncoderStore- Global
The EncoderStore API provides methods to store and retrieve encoders.
This API requires the Predictive Intelligence plugin \(com.glide.platform\_ml\) and is provided within the `sn_ml` namespace.
**Parent Topic:**[Server API reference](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/api-reference/server-api-reference/api-server.md)
## EncoderStore - add\(Object mlEncoder\)
Adds a new encoder object to the store and returns a unique name.
**Note:** Label values do not need to be unique. For example, if you run this method with the same label 10 times, this method adds 10 different uniquely-named objects to the store.
