Example: Using the INFOMAPS Procedure and the Information Maps Engine

Step 1: Create a Library Definition in the SAS Metadata Server

Before you can use a data source in an information map, you must define the data source in the SAS Metadata Server. This example uses sample data sets that are provided with SAS. The sample data sets are typically located in the !sasroot\SASFoundation\9.2\core\sample directory (where !sasroot indicates the directory in which SAS is installed at your location). This example uses the EMPINFO, JOBCODES, and SALARY data sets in that directory.

Use SAS Management Console to define a library named HR that points to the directory that contains the sample data sets. For more information about creating libraries using SAS Management Console, see the online Help for SAS Management Console.

For information about defining metadata, installing and setting up a standard SAS Metadata Server, or changing the standard configuration options for the SAS Metadata Server, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
