Hi everyone,   I am looking for any guides for managing user authorization to access libraries.    I should create a group of users allowed just to access one library between the many libraries already registered in SAS Management Console. I tried to create a new user without giving to him any authorization or any group, but he can access everything. The only way I managed to avoid him to see the data in the library has been to insert his group in the authorization tab properties of the library, and deny explicitly the authorization for that group. But I hope this is not the only way, because I should deny the authorization for all the libraries that already exist, and all the future ones.   Thank you for any help.   ... View more

Hi everyone,   I got stuck on a problem in understanding the procedure of Interactive Binning node on SAS Enterprise Miner.   As far as I know, Gini index is a measure of impurity, so the lower the value, the better. When I read about Gini cutoff on the Miner Client, I was surprised that the software rejects variable with a Gini Statistic lower than the chosen cutoff (I expected it would have refused the bigger ones). I checked the syntax, and eventually the definition of Gini Statistics is different from the one that I know, e.g. for computation in Decision Tree training. According to this definition, you use also the product between the number of events of the group that you are considering and the numbers of non-events of the previous groups. I can't see this product in the common definition of Gini index. Finally, this formula is actually close to one if the target variable has the same value in each group (while in the classic one, if I am not wrong, in the same condition the index is close to 0).   I cannot find any reference about this expression of Gini Index. Can anyone help me?   Thanks in advance.  ... View more

Hi everybody,   I have developed a job in SAS DIS that has a step which sends an email through the utility FILENAME MAILBOX. It succeeds when I run the job by SAS DIS. After, I deployed the job in order to execute it through a .sh file on a Linux system. When I run it in this way, all the activities are completed with success, all except the sending of the email. The version of the server SAS is 9.3.   Does anyone know if I have to change the script of the FILENAME MAILBOX, or if I have the specify something in the .sh file?   Thank you in advance for your attention. ...
