Invoking R Scripts

The release of R currently available for use with Xpress Executor on the FICO Analytic Cloud is version 3.2.2 and includes all the base and recommended R packages. Additional packages can be installed by calling the standard R function "install.packages()"; these will be cached for the duration of the Mosel/scenario execution.
Some R functionalities are disabled, including:
  • System calls and interaction with external native code
  • Installation of additional packages that would require compilation
  • All network access, except for the FICO CRAN mirror that is preconfigured as the default R package repository
  • Access to system environment variables, except for variables used by R
  • File system access restricted to the current working directory only
