Amol, The configuration you refer to requires that EG connect to your Unix server via SAS/Integration Technologies. You configure EG to connect to a metadata server, which then directs EG to your workspace server. The workspace session is launched with a Unix daemon process called an object spawner. Does any of this sound familiar? The SAS deployment documentation and install process should have guided you through most of this setup. Chris ... View more

Doc is right (of course)! Many procedures have ODS graphics support in 9.1.3, but all labeled as "experimental" -- and I couldn't remember which procedures were included. Here is the relevant doc example for PROC CORR: http://support.sas.com/onlinedoc/913/getDoc/en/procstat.hlp/corr_sect32.htm Chris ... View more

If you have SAS 9.2, then you can get this with some code and the new ODS graphics cababilities. [pre] ods graphics on; proc corr data=sashelp.cars; var enginesize weight; with mpg_city mpg_highway; run; ods graphics off; [/pre] If you have EG 4.1 and SAS 9.2 on the same Windows machine, this code will work. EG 4.2 will use the ODS graphics automatically within the Correlations task. I've attached a sample of the output plot (if the forum software will allow you to view it...) Chris ... View more

If you want to use your local Base SAS to connect to your remote SAS, you can do that using SAS/CONNECT. http://www.sas.com/technologies/dw/etl/connect/index.html If all you want to do is use your local Base SAS to connect to remote SAS libraries, you can do that by defining your remote libraries in a SAS/SHARE environment. http://www.sas.com/products/share/index.html With either of these methods, you should be able to leverage your SAS/ACCESS licenses on the remote server. You can also still use SAS Enterprise Guide to access your local SAS and connect (using SAS/CONNECT or SAS/SHARE) to resources on your remote SAS. Chris ... View more

Andrew, Some things to check: - can you connect to SAS from within EG? View->Servers List->Expand your SAS server. - In EG, check Help->About->System Details. Does the window show that you have SAS installed and registered? There would be an entry for "SAS location" and "SAS command". If the answer is no to these questions, try re-registering SAS. Navigate a command prompt to where your SAS.exe resides and run: sas.exe /regserver Chris ... View more

Doc, I'm glad to hear you spin it that way. That jives with my explanation at: http://blogs.sas.com/sasdummy/index.php?/archives/38-SAS-Enterprise-Guide-4.1-and-SAS-9.2-FAQs.html And yes, EG 4.2 will take advantage of ODS graphics -- that gives a nice graphical boost to the results from about 20 of our analytical tasks.

Phil, While this is not an official release date, I'd look for EG 4.2 around the end of this year. As far as compatibility -- no, EG 4.2 supports only SAS 9.2. You can still have EG 4.1 and EG 4.2 installed on the same machine, if you are straddling SAS deployments. Also, EG 4.1 works with SAS 9.2 on Windows (when both EG 4.1 and SAS 9.2 are installed on the same machine). Chris ... View more

Joshua, as far as I know, there is no firm timeline for this. Some parts of the SAS Foundation have dependencies on a Java runtime, and right now there is not adequate support for the required Java runtime on Windows Server 2008. Chris ... View more

If you don't have SAS installed on your local PC, you can still access your local SAS data sets -- and you can move your remote SAS data sets to your local PC. You can accomplish this with the Upload Data/Download Data tasks, which you can download for Enterprise Guide 4.1 from: http://www.sas.com/apps/demosdownloads/setupcat.jsp?cat=SAS+Enterprise+Guide Chris ...

Here's how you can turn off the EG ODS "sandwich" (so that you don't get two helpings of results): 1. In the process flow or project tree, select the code item or task that you want to affect, right-click and choose Properties. 2. In the Properties window, select the Results tab. 3. Check "Override the preferences set in Tools->Options". 4. Uncheck (clear) all Results Formats items. Then when you add your own ODS statements, those should be the only results that you see.

Darryl, It's unusual to not have the sample data. Did you look in: C:\Program Files\SAS\Enterprise Guide 4\Sample\Data You can get a few data sets from the SAS for Dummies companion site: http://support.sas.com/publishing/bbu/60986/60986.zip Chris ... View more

This sounds like an installation issue. If you have SAS on the same machine as EG, then EG should have launched a SAS workspace session to open the data. If you don't have SAS on your local machine, then EG should use the SAS local data provider to open/read the SD2 file. Either way, this error indicates that something is not installed quite right. You should probably work with tech support to resolve the issue. Chris ... View more

Yes, there will be a hotfix 7. The timing is not yet set exactly. If you are waiting for a particular fix, I advise working with tech support to ensure that your need is on the list for the next hotfix. Chris ... View more

The scoring algorithm -- is it the result of a model that you created in Enterprise Miner? If so, you might check out the Model Scoring task within Enterprise Guide. You can use it as long as you've registered your Enterprise Miner model in the SAS metadata environment. Chris ... View more
