The INFOMAPS Procedure

Example 1: Creating a Basic Information Map


The following example shows you how to use the INFOMAPS procedure to create an information map.

proc infomaps metauser="pubhdc1\sasdemo"
   metapass="Pwd123"
   metaserver="pubhdc1.na.sas.com"
   metaport=8561;

/* Open a new information map.  The specified location is */
/* where, by default, the information map is saved when a */
/* SAVE statement issued. The information map exists only */
/* in memory until a SAVE statement is issued.            */
new infomap "xmp_simple" 
    mappath="/Users/sasdemo/My Folder"
    auto_replace=yes;

/* Make the specified table on the specified server accessible. */
insert datasource sasserver="SASApp"
    table="Sample Data"."CLASS" _all_ ;

/* Save the information map that is currently open.  Because   */
/* no location is specified in the SAVE statement, it is saved */
/* in the location specified in the NEW INFOMAP statement.     */
save;
run;

The following window shows the resulting information map opened in SAS Information Map Studio. Note that the folder CLASS was created automatically because the INSERT DATASOURCE statement includes the _ALL_ option.
