Use the Report Center

When you open the Report Center, you see three main folders:

To run a report, expand the folders until you find the report that you want to run, and then click on the report entry. The report is displayed in the viewing pane of the Report Center window. The Report Center uses the SAS Stored Process web application, so the window title is Stored Processes.

Some reports contain prompts for you to select the data that you want to display in the report. Use each prompt to select the information required to produce the report. Select the categories of inputs on the left side of the display area to fully customize the report.

When you have specified all of the information required to produce the report, click Run to produce the report.

When you select a nightly report, the report is generated using the data currently in the SAS Environment Manager Data Mart and the report is then cached. If you select the same report again, the cached report is displayed, rather than a new report being generated. All of the reports in the Report Center expire at midnight, so displaying a report after midnight displays a new report using current data. The ETL processes that load data into the SAS Environment Manager Data Mart also run at midnight, so reports that you run after midnight use the most current data (from the previous day). However, suppose you create a report, then later run the ETL processes at a different time by using commands. If you run the report again, the cached data will still be used, rather than the data that the ETL process just loaded into the SAS Environment Manager Data Mart.

You can change the expiration date and time of reports in the report center. See Change Report Parameters.
