Cynthia, thanks!  this is good.  I like the idea of writing directly to the web server as this will help with automation of the processing. I was able to publish the file using the Publishing framework and surface to the Portal.  The issue I have with this approach is that the end-user will have to select the "Launch Live Report" button (left side of the portlet) to open the report in WRS for the link to work.  seems a bit cumbersome. I created a Stored Process out of the code, w/no prompts.  This works in EG but when I post to the Portal in a Stored Process Portlet it doesn't seem to render the output.  I have other STPsthat do have prompts and they do work as expected.  probably some wierd issue I'll figure out. I want to thank all of you for contributing to this post, it has been very helpful and extremely valuable!  Using the power of SAS Graph to go beyond the canned reporting capabilities in SAS BI, then tie that into the BI Portal, is very powerful for those requiring advanced graphics for their Dashboards.  I see there has been quite a few others that have viewed this post and hopefully they will get some valuable insight as well.  Thanks again!! ...

Ah, now I can open that file from the directory and the links work.  Thanks!  Now I'm not sure how to get this on the Portal page so that it displays and works there? Thanks for you help with this! ... View more

A couple points for further clarification: when I run the code in EG, I can then download to view "'S:\Projects\Development\Randy\GraphOutput' and it shows the graph with url links that work when I go to the directory where I am storing this 'S::\Projects\Development\Randy\GraphOutput' the file "Spark_Table_SG_URL.png" file renders the Sparkline graph but with no links operating and the file "graph1.html" does nto render anything but a blank page with "The SGPlot Procedure" at the top. thanks. ...

getting closer!  appologies for my novice understanding of SAS Graph.  see code below.  I did turn off the output options in EG, then it asks me to download the results "s:\Projects\Development\Randy\GraphOutput\graph1.html" which I do and the url links work there (in EG land).  however, when I go do the directory where this is stored and open the file, the links do not work.  There is also in that directory the imagemap "Spark Table SG URL".  I'm not sure how these are connected such that I can put them in a Portlet on the Portal (and what kind of Portlet) so they work together to render the Sparkline graph iwth operable URL links? thanks for all the help with this, this is a critical point for this project, and many future ones. %let gpath='S:\Projects\Development\Randy\GraphOutput'; ods listing gpath=&gpath image_dpi=100 ; ods html path="S:\Projects\Development\Randy\GraphOutput" body="graph1.html"; ods graphics / reset  width=7.0in height=4.0in antialiasmax=1000     imagename='Spark_Table_SG_URL' imagemap tipmax=1000; title 'Quality ScoreCard Sparkline Graph'; proc sgplot data=Tmp3 noautolegend;   refline ref / lineattrs=(thickness=27) transparency=0.75;   series x=x y=y /  group=group  lineattrs=graphdatadefault(pattern=solid);   scatter y=group2 x=yRatelabel          /markerchar=Rate x2axis url=url;   scatter y=group2 x=yBaseLabel   /markerchar=Base x2axis  url=url;   scatter y=group2 x=yTargetLabel /markerchar=Target x2axis url=url;   scatter y=group2 x=yStretchLabel       /markerchar=Stretch x2axis url=url;     xaxis display=none offsetmax=0.20 type=discrete;   x2axis display=(nolabel noticks) offsetmin=0.7;   yaxis values=(1 to 4) display=(nolabel noticks); * type=discrete; run; ods html close; ...

Sanjay, I got this Sparkline graph to work with my data.  Now I'm trying to get it posted on the SAS BI Portal and seem to loose the url links?  I'm using EG and Publishing this to the Report Repository, then adding it to the Portal in a SAS Report Portlet.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks again! ... View more
