Using Tables from a Local or Network Drive :: SAS(R) Decision Manager 2.2: User's Guide

About Using Tables from a Local or Network Drive

If you have migrated or upgraded from a previous release of SAS Decision 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 Decision Manager 2.2 you can no longer use the Edit Start-up Code feature to define a libref to use tables on a local or network drive. In SAS Decision Manager 2.2 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 Decision 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 migrated 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 the Log tab to see the SAS log.
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.

Delete a Libref

You delete a libref using the Edit Start-up Code window.

Select ActionsEdit Start-up Code
