getting interactive decision tree in enterprise miner to use more than 20000 records

[Xamius32]

Hi we have data with about 500k records and need to use the interactive decision tree. By default only 20k records are used by interactive tree. I followed the steps here 47220 - The Interactive Decision Tree Application does not use the entire data set

And specifically I put this into the project start code

%let EM_INTERACTIVE_TREE_MAXOBS= 500000;

And it doesnt help. From what I've read thats all I'm supposed to do. Any ideas?

It seems to me you are running Enterprise Miner 12.3 or newer.

Instead of using the macro variables, use the Interactive Sample properties.

Specify Create Sample as User and the Sample Size that you prefer.

I hope it helps.

I'm using 12.1. Where would those options be?

[M_Maldonado]

In EM 12.1 you would use the macro variable in the startup code as you described in your first post.
I just gave it a try in my EM12.1 and it worked OK. Not sure why it is not working for you.

Maybe you should contact SAS support using this link: Contact SAS Institute Technical Support

Hello Xamius32!

Did you solve your problem? I'm having the same problem, but I don't know what to do. I'm using Miner 12.1. I put this %let EM_INTERACTIVE_TREE_MAXOBS= 126745 on the code, but nothing changes.
