Hi,
maybe someone already had same case. I need to split target groups by different percent with every execution (values in yellow):
The problem is, that I cannot use data item for this, as values can be dependent on previous executions and current execution (size of target group), so I cannot calculate data item before executing campaign, as I don’t know what current targetgroup will be. I was thinking about providing macro variables in “Requested %” fields and calculate those variables in process node, but split node accepts only numbers. Does anyone have any other idea, how I can inject those values into split node on campaign execution?
Hi,
This is a very typical situation... Unfortunately, out-of-the-box Split node can't do that, and the way to go is to develop your own Process Node / Diagram Tool stored process that does what you need. Carefully review SAS MA User Guide for details about how a Stored Process must be defined in Metadata so it produced two named cells "TG" and "CG" when placed on a diagram.
Best regards, Dmitriy.

That worked, thanks. One more question before closing this topic. Is there a way to rename output cell name? I know that it is generated by default and it is possible change it in process node:
But I want different names by default, e.g. "Target group" and "Control group".
Yes, it's possible. There are some keywords to be added to the Stored Process definition in metadata that does exactly that - set up a number and default names for output cells. I don't recall exact keywords - it is documented in SAS MA User Guide, in a section where it describes how to create stored processes for process nodes.
MA User guide does not mention anything about changing output cell naming:
Only these keywords are provided:
Can it be so, that there is no such possibility in MA 6.5 anymore?
Thanks for clarification!
