Running the SAS Page-Tag Tutorial Job :: SAS(R) Data Surveyor for Clickstream Data 2.2: User's Guide

Overview

With SAS Data Integration Studio 4.2 and later, you can add notes to the job. A Read Me First note in the job flow informs the user to open the job properties window and edit the default value for the Email Address for Checkpoint Notifications parameter on the Parameters tab. The value that you set is used by all the Checkpoint transformations in this job. These Checkpoint transformations notify you when errors occur at strategic points in the job.

Perform the following tasks to run the SAS page tag default job:

Review and Prepare the Job

If you have not done so already, you should run a copy of the setup job for the SAS page tag tutorial, which is named clk_0010_tutorial_sastag_setup. When you actually process the data, you should copy and rename the page tag tutorial job before you run it. For information, see Copying the Folder Structure of a Clickstream Job. For example, you might run a job named clk_0020_tutorial_sastag_load_weblog_detail_Site1 job. Renaming a copy of the job ensures that you keep the original tutorial job and retain access to its default values.

The following display shows a sample renamed tutorial job.

Copied Page Tag Tutorial Job

Note that the following tables are created as additional outputs in the Clickstream Parse and Clickstream Sessionize transformations:

UNIQUEPARMS: the unique parameters (as well as the type of parameter) found while processing the data
SESSIONS: information about the sessions found while processing the data
SPIDERS: information about the non-human visitor sessions found while processing the data
SPIDER DETAIL: the detail activity of non-human visitor sessions identified in the SPIDERS table

These tables are created during the processing necessary to produce the final WEBLOG_DETAIL output table. They are stored in the Additional Output library that is specified on the Clickstream Parse transformation or the Clickstream Sessionize transformation.
