Working with Projects

Viewing and Specifying Project Properties

To view and customize properties for a project, use the main menu to select Options [arrow] Project [arrow] Properties The Properties window opens. The properties window contains five tabs:

General -- displays the project name, type, share status, and location.
Initialization -- specifies whether to run start-up code (such as, assigning librefs to data sources for the project or specifying the format search paths via the FMTSEARCH option) when the project is opened, and exit code (such as clearing libref assignments and resetting global SAS options) when the project is closed.

By default, start-up and exit code are enabled. To prevent either the start-up or exit code from running, deselect the appropriate check box. These options appear dimmed if the project is currently shared.

To define start-up or exit code, select Edit and type the code in the editor.

After entering your start-up code, close the window and save your changes.
Server -- enables you to view and configure a default server profile. A server profile contains all the configuration information that is necessary to establish a connection on a remote server. You may edit the project server profile only when no one else is using the project. For details about this task, see Creating a Client/Server Project. Note that the Server tab is dimmed unless you are viewing the properties for a client/server project.
Warehouse -- enables you to type the warehouse path where the metadata sample was created from the Enterprise Miner Add-ins to the SAS/Warehouse Administrator. Alternatively, you can select Browse to find and set the warehouse path via an explorer interface.
Users -- lists the user ID and sign-on time for all of the users who currently have the project open.

After you have set the project properties, select OK in the Properties window or select Cancel to cancel your settings.
