Using Tables from a Local or Network Drive :: SAS® Model Manager 14.2: User's Guide

About Using Tables from a Local or Network Drive

If you have migrated or upgraded from a previous release of SAS Model Manager, the start-up code that enabled you to use tables from the local SAS Workspace Server or network drive is still available. In SAS Model Manager 14.2, you can no longer define a libref to use tables on a local or network drive. Also, in SAS Model Manager 14.2, tables must be registered in the SAS Metadata Repository and accessible in the Data category view. If the libref was defined before you migrated or upgraded, you can use the local or network tables to complete these SAS Model Manager tasks:

Create a project
Create projects from a control table
Specify project input and output variables
Create a scoring test
Create a model retrain definition
Create reports
Create a performance definition

The start-up code that was migrated can be viewed using the Edit Start-up Code window. You can access this window from the Actions menu on the toolbar in the Projects and Portfolios category views.

Here is an example LIBNAME statement:

libname SalesLib 's:\sales\2013\october';

Edit Start-Up Code

To edit the start-up code:

Select ActionsEdit Start-up Code. The Edit Start-up Code window appears.
Enter the SAS code.
Click Run Now.

Click OK. The SAS code is saved in the Edit Start-up Code window.

Note: If you save the code without running it by clicking OK, the code automatically runs the next time the middle-tier server starts.

To delete a libref:
