Hi...I am a business user (campaign manager), and we recently upgraded SAS CI from 5.4 to 6.4, so it's been a fairly dramatic change for us. I do like the new environment, but I'm still getting accustomed to some of the changes.
Since this new community was just launched, i thought that I would post my question here to solicit advice from the experts.
My question relates to updating counts in the nodes within the diagram. In the previous version of SAS, we were instructed to update counts node by node starting from the top to bottom prior to executing the campaign. While tedious, this process works well for us as our diagrams are relatively simple, and I find it useful to see how the counts change throughout the diagram.
I used this same approach in CI 6.4, and I noticed that when I update counts as i progress through the diagram, the upstream nodes recalculate in addition to the individual node that I selected to update. Given this, I am wondering whether i should simply 'start at the bottom' and simply update counts from the last node?
Is there a 'best practice' related to updating counts in nodes?
i appreciate any input community members can provide...thanks,
Alan
