Thanks Cynthia. So bottom line, the previous method of using Java Web Start client for Enterprise Miner is no longer available as of a few days ago based on the update last week. Thanks; I wanted to make sure I was not missing something on the new OnDemand page. Have a nice New Years.

I have taught Enterprise Miner using SAS OnDemand previously multiple times. Last time was spring semester 2022. Previously, there was no install on the student computer (Mac or Windows) other than Java. Students (and myself) logged into SAS OnDemand and downloaded a small "main.jnlp" file. Double-click on the file and after a few moments, Enterprise Miner (OnDemand) opened in the web browser. Now I am logging into the new SAS OnDemand page. For Enterprise Miner, there now appears to be a "SAS Enterprise Miner 152.exe" install of roughly 600 mb that is Windows only. I downloaded it, entered the proper URL and am logged into Enterprise Miner OnDemand. All my old material is there. My real question is did the previous approach of "just" downloading a "main.jnlp" file to run Enterprise Miner go away and now the students must download the "SAS Enterprise Miner 152.exe" or am I just missing the old approach? Thanks. Jerry Flatto

Thanks. A big part of my issue is that I am not even sure of the questions to ask now that we have our own server-based SAS. Using SAS OnDemand, students can use existing libraries for the course files already created by SAS loaded on their servers. Now I am trying to figure out what I need to do to replicate the functionality of SAS OnDemand for our local server. My first step was to simply be able to move a single file from my own PC to SAS Studio on the server, convert it into a sas7bat file and make it available inside of Enterprise Miner. With your help earlier in this thread, I can now do that.

If I can follow-up to my other question. I know how to import an Excel or CSV from my PC directly into Enterprise Miner running on our server using a File Import node in Enterprise Miner. Is there any way to import a .sas7bat directly from my PC into Enterprise Miner running on our server without creating a library located on the server? Somewhat related, it is possible to create a SAS Library on my PC and access it from Enterprise Miner running on the server? To be clear, I do not have SAS installed on my PC. I am trying to think of the best way to share files with my students when we use Enterprise Miner rather than OnDemand as in previous semesters where the libraries for the various SAS courses already exist. Thanks. Jerry

Thanks for the quick responses. I can not believe I missed the missing quote. I deleted the first line completely and got it to work. Now on to my next step of "crawling" using a local version of Enterprise Miner as compared to the OnDemand version that I have used for 3 years.

(The attached Word document includes the screen shots.) I am trying to import data into Enterprise Miner for analysis and get an error message with my path when setting the Project Start Code for a project in Enterprise Miner. Background – I am a faculty member at a university and have been using SAS OnDemand for my classes. I know how to upload data via SAS Studio OnDemand, create a library with the data and then in Enterprise Miner OnDemand, access the data after adding the appropriate Project Start Code. Our university just bought SAS, including Enterprise Miner, and it has been installed on our servers for multi-student use. Screen shots to the contents of the servers and more detail on the “Local Disk”. All these drives are on virtual servers, not on a personal computer. The servers are running a Windows environment and we do not have SAS Viya installed. I upload a file on my PC to the servers via SAS Studio, create a library, and import the data into the library. The screen shots shows the file information when I import the data into the library. Again, the paths shown below are on the virtual servers, not my own PC. The imported data appears in my library as shown in the screen shot. I then open Enterprise Miner, create a project and select “Project Start Code”: When I try to run the Start Code, I get errors. Clearly the path name is not correct. I make the following changes to the Start Path code hoping to solve the error but it doesn’t help.

I have been having some issues with Enterprise Miner not starting and looking for suggestions. I have a work machine and a home machine, both running Windows 10 and using Chrome as my browser. I am using SAS OnDemand Enterprise Miner in my classroom. On my work machine, I log into SAS OnDemand, and start Enterprise Miner for MWF day classes. Download the main.jnlp file, run it and Enterprise Miner starts and works fine. Come in on Tuesday evening to teach an evening class, EM won’t run. It just keeps “downloading and verifying“ the application. After about 10 minutes of “Downloading Application” and “Verifying Application”, I get an error that says the Application won’t start. I click on “Details” on the error dialog box but nothing happens. I come in the next morning and EM starts without an issue on my work machine. Students in my MBA class are able to log into EM using their accounts so it is not the server. To get around the issue and teach my class, I use Teamviewer to remotely access my home computer. I open the SAS OnDemand page, download the main.jlnp file and Enterprise Miner runs fine on my home machine even though it wouldn’t run on my work machine two minutes earlier. I have tried clearing the cache on Chrome as well as rebooting, it didn’t make a difference. This has now been two Tuesdays in a row where EM wouldn’t start on Tuesday night but works fine on my home machine.

Unfortunately, I never heard back from SAS. Since I am teaching SAS in the classroom, I am using a projection system so the small size of the Properties panel makes it difficult for students to see the text on the screen. My only solutions right now are to decrease the resolution of my computer from 1920 by 1080 down to 1280 by 768 so everything on the screen is bigger. While this works, it obviously decreases what I can show on the screen so I have to scroll more. My other work-around is to increase the magnification of the screen under Windows 10 Display Settings but I have the same issue as decreasing the resolution.

Thanks. I am actually also talking to Sam Walton School of Business trying to understand the requirements.

My preference based on years of dealing with both undergrads and grads, is to make the install on the clients as simple as possible and thus a thinner client would be preferred, preferably allowing student access from off-campus. Requiring the students to be on campus would be an issue. I am also just wanting to make sure that I am not limited to a single physical lab with desktop computers but can use laptops connected via wireless even if I have to use VPN for off-campus use.

jflatto · ‎05-16-2018

To be honest, one of things I want to look at this summer is SAS studio versus EG. I have not used EG at all but plan to check it out. Most of my efforts has been with EM. Thanks for the feedback. Jerry

jflatto · ‎05-16-2018

Thanks for moving the post to the correct forum. Thanks for the input. Regardless of whether we use a desktop clients or laptops, we would have the same EM install. I would really like the students to be able to work off campus, particularly my graduate students. Right now, I am more just trying to ensure that I do not need hardwired desktop computers and can use laptops, whether university or students to access Enterprise Miner or Guide as well as SAS Studio.

jflatto · ‎05-16-2018

We have been using SAS OnDemand up until this point but are finally getting a new lab and purchasing SAS and Enterprise Miner for a local install. I understand that the install will be a client-server approach but I am being asked if the clients need to be desktop machines, hardwired using Ethernet connecting to the server. My understanding is that we should be able to install the client software on laptops, including student laptops and still access the server. For install of SAS and Enterprise Miner on the student laptops, I know we would have the students sign a separate SAS license for home use but that is a “paper issue”, not a technical issue. Thus, as we specify our lab configuration, I am hoping to not need desktop computers installed in the labs but can use school laptops or student laptops as long as the client software is configured correctly. Can anyone provide any insight on this please. Thanks. Jerry

jflatto · ‎02-08-2017

Thanks but it is all the other text that I am finding hard to read. Setting the text display to 125% in Windows 10 seems to help but then all other applications are increased in size.

jflatto · ‎02-08-2017

I guess I am getting old but the overall interface size for Enterprise Miner OnDemand is small for me. I would like to increase the interface font size to make it easier for me to read. I have looked through the menus for Enterprise Miner, the forum and the help screens but am not seeing any way to do this. My alternative, other than squinting, is to reduce the resolution of my monitor which is not a great solution. Any suggestions? Thanks. Jerry
