How to export information map contents with details?

Hi,

I'm struggling with the export of the information map to xml.

I wrote the code, but the output returns the error:

[ java.io.FileNotFoundException: e:\mapy\filename.xml (The system cannot find the path specified) ]

I've tried writing a various combinations of the path, but with no success.

proc infomaps;
   export infomap "IM_CMK_Global_9_2023"
      file="e:/mapy/filename.xml"
      mappath="/Shared Data/CM Information Maps/";
run;

I want to export all views. Would be great if I could also save the location and the description of the information map contents.

Not only for PROC INOMAP, this generally happens when the path doesn't exist, or maybe you lack credentials.

If you are using a SAS client, e.g., Enterprise Guide, be aware that the statement executes on SAS compute (workspace) server, and any drives (E:) must be configured at system startup.

For information of the infomap use the LIST statement.

SAS Help Center: Syntax: PROC INFOMAPS LIST Statement

Output goes to the log, which you can redirect using PROC PRINTTO.

Thanks,

Finally, I took the data from the log and extracted needed information using python.
