Run the Define Performance Task Wizard

To create the monitoring reports you run the Define Performance Task wizard to generate SAS code. You then execute the generated code. Execution of the generated code creates the SAS data sets that are used to display the monitoring reports from the version Performance node.
To create the reports, follow these steps:
  1. Right-click the project name and select Define Performance Task. The Define Performance Task wizard appears, and creates a PerformanceMonitor node if one does not exist.

  2. In the Output Variables for Stability Analysis table, select the output variable or variables. To select all output variables, click Select All.
  3. In the Input Variables for Characteristic Analysis table, select the input variables. To select all input variables, click Select All. Click Next.
  4. For each general property in the table, verify the values for the warning and alert conditions. Modify the values as necessary. Make sure that the values are not enclosed in quotation marks. Click Next.

  5. Click the ellipsis button Ellipsis Button for the Performance data source box and select a performance data source.

  6. Click the ellipsis button Ellipsis Button for the Data collection date box and select a date. The date can be any date in the time period when the performance data was collected. SAS Model Manager uses the date value to sequence data. Therefore, you can select any date in the time period when the performance data source was collected.
  7. To add a label for the date, type the label in the Date label box. The date label represents the timeframe of the performance data source. Date labels appear on the report charts. In order for the chart to be readable, select short, clear date labels.
  8. (Optional) To send the scoring results by e-mail, click the Add button in the E-mail to table. The Add Contact window appears.
    1. Type an e-mail address.
    2. Select either Yes or No if you want an alert and warnings to be sent by e-mail when alert or warning thresholds have been exceeded.
    3. Select either Yes or No if you want a completion notice to be sent by e-mail every time the performance task runs.
  9. Click Finish. The Working status box appears while the code is generated.
  10. When the code generation is complete, the Information window displays a confirmation message Click OK. You can view the generated code in the project PerformanceMonitor folder.
  11. To execute the generated code, right-click the PerformanceMonitor folder and select Execute. SAS Model Manager saves the data sets that create the monitoring reports in the default version Resources folder.
    Execute the Performance Report Code
    Note: If the report creation fails, you can view the SAS log to look for error messages by selecting the PerformanceMonitor.log file in the PerformanceMonitor node.
  12. To view the reports, click on the Performance node. On the right, click the tab for the report that you want to view.
