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!! ...
