Html output for GKPI

NN — Mon, 10 May 2010 12:09:12 GMT

Guys,
Is it possible to present KPI in HTML using the GKPI procedure. I tried the same but i think some error crops up due to the DEVICE= JAVAIMG option.
if someone could please guide on this.

You want to display a gkpi chart in an html page (using "ods html")?
This would be one way...

%let name=gkpi13;

goptions device=javaimg;
goptions cback=white border;
goptions xpixels=600 ypixels=600;

ods html file="&name..html" nogtitle style=minimal;

goptions ftext="arial/bold";
goptions cback=graydd;

/* See new syntax changes in S0384459 */

title1 h=.2in "dial";
proc gkpi mode=raised;
dial actual=85 bounds=(0 50 75 100) /
target=66 colors=(cxFFFAFA cxF08080 cx8B0000)
avalue bvalue label='dial' name="&name" des=" ";
run;

quit;

ods html close;

I am trying to create the html on an external path. Hence i made the following change in the code.
ods html file = "/mypath/&name..html"
the error that i keep getting is
ERROR: Insufficient authorization to access
/sas1/config/Lev1/SAS/gkpi13.png. Message was edited by: NN

Hi:
One issue you could be running into is that only the HTML file will be written to the /mypath directory. The image file (gkpi13.png) seems to be written to a directory to which you (or your job) does not have sufficient write authority.

This Tech Support note and the documentation link explain how PATH= and FILE= work in the creation of SAS/GRAPH output:
http://support.sas.com/kb/23/638.html
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/graphref/61884/HTML/default/a003152012.htm

One modification you might try is:
[pre]
ods html path= "/mypath" (url=none)
file="&name..html";

or

ods html path= "/mypath" (url=none)
gpath="/mypath" (url=none)
file="&name..html";
[/pre]

You might be having other issues, as well. I notice that the default image location is in a Lev1 sub-directory -- this is generally one of the directory names in a SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform installation. I wonder whether you are trying to write a stored process to create your GKPI output??? Usually, stored processes use _WEBOUT special reserved fileref instead of hard-coded file and path names for ODS output.

Cynthia,
I am not writing an STP for the KPI. I was trying this on EG4.2.
I tried the modifications suggested by you.
The error no longer crops up but the Final HTML file appears balnk without any image in it.

I donot face any problems when i try creating other Bar charts or Graphs in html.

Robert/cynthia,
Thanks for your help the issue has been resolved.
The problem as you had suggested was that the .png file was not getting saved in the path of the html.
