Use the Report Center

When you open the Report Center, you see three main folders:

Products

contains most of the stored processes to generate reports based on APM or ACM ETL processes

System

Contains stored processes for ad hoc reports

user folders

Contains any custom reports that you have created and saved in your user folder

To create a report, expand the folders until you find the stored process that you want to run, and then click on the stored process entry. The viewing pane of the Report Center window displays prompts for the information in the report. The Report Center uses the SAS Stored Process web application, so the window title is Stored Processes.

Use each prompt to select the information required to produce the report. Select the categories of inputs on the left side of the display area to fully customize the report.

The stored processes are based on standard procedures from Base SAS and ODS. Where applicable, the procedures used are indicated on the stored process prompts. Refer to the appropriate Base SAS or ODS documentation for information about specific prompts.

When you have specified all of the information required to produce the report, click Run to produce the report. An error message appears if the information that you specified cannot produce a valid report.

Note: Some reports might be blank, even though SAS Environment Manager is working properly. If data has not been generated that a report depends on, then the report will be blank. For example, a report that displays metadata activity will contain data only if there has been any activity on the SAS Metadata Server. If a report is blank, you can verify that the report is being generated properly by performing an activity that will generate data for the report. For example, to verify a metadata activity report, you could perform an action that would cause a metadata change, such as creating a user definition in metadata.
