Working with Projects

Opening an Existing Project

To open an existing project or a diagram within that project, follow these steps:

Use the main menu to select File Open or you can just click the Open tool icon in the toolbox.

In the Open window, browse through the folders on your machine to find the project .dmp file or the diagram .dmd file.
Select the project .dmp file or the diagram .dmd file that you want to open. If you select a diagram .dmd file that is already opened by another user, then a message window appears and indicates that the diagram is locked.

Select OK to open the project.

After you have opened a project, you must work with an existing diagram in the project, create a new diagram, or wait until a locked diagram becomes available.

Note: Multiple users can open the same project (.dmp file) but not the same diagram (.dmd file) within the project.

If the project is a client/server project, then a message window appears and asks if you want to connect to the server.

[Dialog window asking Do You Want to Connect to Goldminer.PC.SAS.com?]

Select Yes to establish a connection to the server or select No to run the project locally.
