saslogofrom the SAS 9.2 Intelligence Platform Web Application Administration Guide,
Third Edition, located at:

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/biwaag/63536/PDF/default/biwaag.pdf

The information in the Key User Action Log can be imported into SAS data sets and presented in reports. To report the data, follow these steps:

  1. Import the WebReportStudio_KeyActions.log data into a SAS data set. Here are the main steps:
    1. Assign a libref to an XML file that contains log data, and specify the XML engine.  In the following example, MyFile.xml is a copy of a Key User Action Log file:
      libname myxml xml ’C:\My Files\XML\MyFile.xml’;
    2. Use the SAS data sets procedure to import the XML file into a SAS data set.
      Here is an example:
      proc data sets library=myxml;
      This code creates a data set named EVENT in the MYXML library.
      For more information, see SAS online Help and documentation.
  2. In SAS Information Map Studio, create an information map based on the data set that you created in the preceding step. For the information map, you might want to provide the ability to filter based on the event code (<code> tag), the user name (<user> tag), the report name (<report> tag), or the date (<date> tag). For information about using SAS Information Map Studio, see the product Help.
  3. 3 In SAS Web Report Studio, define a report based on the information map that you created in the previous step. You can define the report to be refreshed manually, and then schedule the report to run at regular intervals.

New Features to be Included in SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3

saslogo I was one of the unfortunate ones who was unable to attend the SAS Global Forum in Seattle last week.  Thanks to discussion forums, blogs, and Twitter, I was able to keep up with a lot that was going on.  I was particularly interested in some of the new features that will be available in the next version (4.3) of Enterprise Guide, which is scheduled to be available this summer.  Below are some of the features that were mentioned:

  • context sensitive keyword completion (syntax suggestion)
  • relative file addressing
  • code reverse engineering (see what old code is doing)
  • an autoexec process flow for projects (runs automatically when project is opened)
  • code analyzer (reads a program and turns it into a process flow)

I also had the opportunity to preview some of the new features in the upcoming version of Web Report Studio (4.3).  SAS is expanding drag and drop capabilities, which makes creation of report even easier.  The biggest news though is the ability to use more than one data source in a report section!
