SAS Platform: Architecture

The SAS Platform consists of a multiple-tier environment that is typically represented by the following:• client tier

• Web tier

• server tier

• data tier


What is Enterprise Guide ?SAS Enterprise Guide provides a SAS graphical interface that helps you exploit the power of SAS and publish dynamic results in a Microsoft Windows client application. The solution is the preferred SAS interface for business analysts, programmers and statisticians and a key application in SAS Business Intelligence offerings.


What is Enterprise Guide ?

Enterprise Guide is an easy-to-use Windows application that provides:

1. An intuitive visual interface

2. Transparent access to data

3. Access to the power of SAS

4. Easy exporting of data and results to other applications

5. Scripting and automation

6. Access to a programming interface


Key Benefits Easy access to the right intelligence

• Provide a self-service environment for analysts and statisticians.

• Provide easy access to data sources through a SAS graphical interface.

• Make reporting and analytics available to everyone.

Less repetitive work, more strategic work & greater visibility for your work

Flexibility to adapt

SAS Stored Process

A stored process has the following characteristics:• is a SAS program that is hosted on a server and

described by metadata

• can be executed by many of the client applications in the SAS®9 Intelligence Platform

• is similar in concept to programs run by SAS/IntrNet, but more versatile because of the underlying metadata and security support

Because a stored process is a SAS program• it can access any SAS data source or external file.• it can create new data sets, files, and report output in a

variety of formats.


The OLAP Analyzer The OLAP Analyzer in SAS Enterprise Guide enables you to view and analyze data

that is stored in a SAS OLAP cube.

The OLAP Analyzer consists of the following:

Task Buttons

Cube View Manager

Graph View

Table View


Results can be formatted as• plain text

• RTF

• PDF

• HTML

• XML

You can also• insert results in Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint

• e-mail or save results as HTML files and publish them on the Web

• publish the results to a channel.

4. Formatting and Exporting Results


5. Automating Projects and Process Flows

The SAS Enterprise Guide Scheduler provides a way to run process flows or update projects at a specified time.


6. Programming Interface


Agenda

SAS Enterprise Guide Overview

SAS Enterprise Guide : Querying & Reporting Tool


Power of the ProjectA project serves asa collection of

• data sources

• SAS programsand logs

• tasks and queries

• results

• parameters(macro variables)

• informational notes for documentation.

19

The user can control the contents, sequencing, and updating of a project.


For Data Management The Query Builder


Filters: Filter Wizard for Basic or Advanced


Computed Column WizardA wizard guides you through the process of creating the new column and assigning attributes such as the variable name (or alias) and format.

22


Grouping DataData can be grouped and summarized using the Select Data tab.

23


Joining TablesJoining tables enables you to extract and simultaneously process data from more than one table.

24


For Reporting The Tasks

A task is a specific type of analysis, report, or data manipulation that you can perform against data in a project.

A task is typically referenced by its description.

25


Summary TablesThe Summary Tables wizard or task can be used to generate a tabular summary report.

26


Working with Tasks

27

Task code, log, output data, and results are available for viewing and further analysis through tabs and menus.


Task Output FormatsBy default, SAS Enterprise Guide produces task results in SAS Report format. However you can also choose to generate HTML, PDF, RTF, or text output.

28


PromptsPrompts enable you to request input from the user when a task, query, or SAS program is run.

29

Internet Sales


The Style Manager

The Style Manager can be used to change the default style, and add, delete, or edit existing styles.

30


Conditional Processing

31

Conditional processing enables you to control whether specific steps within your project execute or not when you rerun a project, a process flow, or part of a process flow.

Conditions can be set to specify whether to do any of the following:

• run tasks, queries, and programs

• e-mail results

• export results


Combining ReportsWhen you create results in SAS Report format, you can use those results to create a customized report that you can print, export, and share with other SAS applications. You can add multiple results to the report with text and images, and you can choose how to arrange them in the report.

32


Updating Results - SchedulingA project or process flow can also be scheduled to run at a designated time or event. SAS Enterprise Guide uses the Microsoft Windows Scheduler utility to create a script that causes the project or process flow to rerun and the results to be saved.
