When you run the %MM_RunReports()
macro, you can either run the report in Test mode or Production mode,
by using the _MM_ReportMode macro variable.
To run in Test mode,
ensure that you make the following assignments:
-
In the DATA step mm_jobs.project,
set the variable testDestination=
reportOutputPath,
where
reportOutputPath is the
report output folder on the local computer or network. This is the
location that you defined when you completed the prerequisites for
running batch performance jobs.
-
In the %MM_RunReports() macro,
set the macro variable _MM_ReportMode=TEST.
Test report output is
then written to the local computer or network location. You can test
your %MM_RunReports() macro any number of times without corrupting
the integrity of your model repository. You can delete the contents
of the report output folder and resubmit your macro as necessary.
To view the report output,
you can copy the files from the report output folder to any version
folder whose
Resources folder is empty. A
best practice would be to create a test version and copy the files
to the test version
Resources folder. After
the files are in the
Resources folder, you
can select the
Performance folder in the
version to view the test output. If you do not create a test version,
ensure that you delete the files from the
Resources folder
when you no longer need these files.
