Hello,
There is no readily available "process mining" node in Enterprise Miner, that's for sure ☹️.
Hence, there's no way you can complete this case 'code-free'. 😒
You will need :
Data Integration for the preparation of data (log data, ...). These log-data needs to be combined with other (external) factors to draw conclusions. In SAS 9.4, this can be done with Data Integration Studio (DI Studio).
Detection of patterns and anomalies. For this step, you can use Enterprise Miner nodes!! But time series analysis is very limited in Enterprise Miner. Enterprise Miner is very good in turning time series into predictive features (i.e. time series dimension reduction aka time series compression). But Enterprise Miner is not that good in finding structural breaks in time series (for example) or in (econometric) modelling of time series. For cross-sectional data though, Enterprise Miner offers you great tools to detect patterns and anomalies in a code free way.
Graphical analysis of data and visualization of findings : for this I would use Visual Analytics 7.x (which is VA on SAS 9.4).
Optimization (operational research algorithms) for determining the optimal actions and improving the business processes : you need SAS/OR for this (PROC OPTMODEL for example).
Ideally you also need SAS Visual Investigator for processing the cases. I forgot about the SAS 9.4 name of SAS Visual Investigator (VI is the SAS VIYA name if I remember correctly)
So the only part of the above steps that can be done with Enterprise Miner is the 2nd (detecting patterns and anomalies). This also includes :
Process discovery which is the exploration of the processes and paths that are being analysed
Compliance check to detect all events that have not followed the expected process
uncover hidden relationships between resources and activities
And remember this :
Process mining shares some algorithms with data mining but it is more focused on interpretation of the detected patterns rather than prediction. So, Deep Analytics is not necessarily the most important feature you need !

Koen
