Example: Using the INFOMAPS Procedure and the Information Maps Engine |
The example in this chapter shows you how to use the INFOMAPS procedure to create a new information map and then use the Information Maps engine to retrieve the data associated with the new information map. Once you have the data, you can use other SAS software products to analyze it.
For the example, suppose that the management team in the Human Resources (HR) department in your company wants to analyze some of the employees' salary data. The HR managers are looking for a report with statistical breakdowns that can be updated on a regular basis. Based on the output of this report, they want to be able to create additional Web-based reports on the same information.
You are part of the IT team, so you know that the analyses are updated and modified constantly (to meet the changing demands of the company). You would like to set up the environment programmatically to support the request from the HR management team. You decide to build the statistical report on top of an information map, so the information map can be used later in SAS Web Report Studio.
