I have SAS 9.4 installed. When I tried to do Solution -> Analysis -> Interactive Data Analysis, it says "ERROR: SAS/INSIGHT has been discontinued, beginning with SAS 9.4."
Do I used version 9.3 instead?
A lot of the stuff that SAS/Insights could do you can now do with the various tasks that come with the SAS/Studio interface. With SAS 9.4 you should have access to SAS/Studio. If you are using SAS on your PC it should already be there. If you are using SAS on shared server(s) then your system team will need to install it and tell what URL to use to launch it.
According to SAS Community message board post "Replacement for SAS/Insight (and SAS/Lab)"
IML Studio is the intended substitute for Insight, although it is a separate product and requires a license for IML.
You might also want to contact your SAS support and ask them if there is a newer current best alternative. A vote (or request) to bring it back can be lodged at Communities SASware Ballot message board.

I use SAS Enterprise Guide (version 5.1) for several projects. Enterprise Guide automatically creates links from programs to their input and output, which helps visualize the order of my project in an intuitive way. However, when a program errors, it breaks the link by default, and my process flow looks like a mess - which makes it much harder to debug because I cannot spot where the initial error occurs.
Is there a way to default Enterprise Guide to keep process flow links when an error happens?
Before Error
After Error
You can only do it by adding manual links. It's really annoying and tedious, but it will pay off in the long run.
SAS has gotten a lot better about adding incremental EG updates and features. Send tech support an email requesting such a thing, and they may include it in a future release.
I'm working at VietNam - HaNoi National University and I've a research at BigData satellite raster image by array database.
A solution is using Rasdaman database which has been developed many years. I've installed this server successfully, try to make some query with this by using this guide from rasdaman.org. Everything should be ok but I've known that this has a GUI tool name Rview.
I can't search Rview from any where (may be it's too old), I need some GUI tool because I some time don't really know what is error in my query and I need some tool that can show me the result (2D, 3D) with interractive viewer.
Please tell me how can I get a tool that can have GUI as MS SQL Database management tool, Phpmyadmin,...
Rview (recently renamed to rasdaview actually, to avoid clashing with vim) is a GUI client for rasdaman that allows to send queries and has some cool visualization capabilities for 1D to 3D data.
The problem with rasdaview is that it has been last compiled 10+ years ago against wxWidgets 1.6x and the code is so outdated and incompatible with recent wxWidgets that it's not possible to compile it anymore without significant rewriting.
So rasdaman comes with this rview binary, which amazingly still works on most systems today. However, since it's not possible to compile it, it's a bit tricky to get it running. These guidelines should help you.

I am tasked to manage company's SAS server (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 64 bit(Santiago)
As the title suggests, I need to see who is using SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Enterprise Mining software and How much CPU they consume on their jobs while they are working. I learned that SAS does not have a built in tool for that and I have to use a 3rd party software. I am seeking a mostly graphical tool if it exists.
I'm not sure what sort of ready-made graphical tools might be available for your particular OS. However, one option you could investigate further would be to execute a Linux top command via a filename pipe statement in SAS. You could then use this as the infile in a data step, and then get SAS to produce some graphical output from it.
It may take quite a bit of fiddling around to get exactly what you want, but if you persevere you should be able to produce the sort of output that you're interested in - e.g. the total CPU time / number of processes per user etc over a given interval.
My department maintains all sorts of jobs and reports based on SAS, in a mainframe/batch environment (ie ugly JCL green screens).
I have been enrolled in an expensive training program from the SAS Institute. One of the first parts of the training asks me to install files from a zip file. "Open SAS" and run some files. I can't "open SAS" because I don't have it. It is embedded on the mainframe.
They provide some extremely limited instructions to work in z/OS. but I can't even figure out the basics like how to make a dataset to put the learning file into. They really give no guidance. They assume you already know how to use SAS.
Anyway, the training shows examples in Windows using SAS Enterprise Guide. I would like to get that and use it instead, at least for learning the SAS language. But when I called SAS just to find out if that is a free download, or if not how much it would cost, they said they would call me back and never did. So I just want to know a ballpark for how much it would cost me to get this tool. Also, if I had that tool, would I be able to use it to access the jobs on the Base SAS that I already have (on the mainframe) or would I have to purchase another Base SAS for Windows? I haven't been able to find answers to these questions via a Google search, and the SAS company didn't call me back. Can anyone with more knowledge about this help me out?
As far as I know, SAS Institute does not provide their software to individuals. They work with organizations and the yearly licence could cost tens to hundreds thousand dollars, depending on the components included and the number of processors or users.
There was crippleware SAS Learning Edition but they discontinued it.
I wonder if you can ask for refund for your expensive training program. Alternatively, you can try to run SAS scripts in batch mode on your mainframe. There are some third-party solutions for IDE like EMACS Speaks Statistics (ESS). You will lose functionality like dataset viewer.
I am trying to publish some reports created in Crystal Reports 2008 to the web using ColdFusion. I have read that you just need to use cfreport like this . I have tested this many different ways and all I keep getting is a blank page.
Is it possible to do this? If not how do I publish Crystal Reports to the web? Do we need to have Crystal Reports Server?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
That wont work, its for really old versions of Crystal way before 2008.
You need to have the appropriate Crystal Enterprise on the server and call their API's to run the reports to PDF etc.
I've done it before but 6 years ago and im sure its all different now.
I have worked with cfreport and crystal for over 10 years and here's what I can offer, hope something might help:
It is possible to print Crystal Reports through ColdFusion a few different ways. First, you have to understand that ColdFusion Report Builder was created to get rid of some of the headaches associated with Crystal Reports.
1) If you can downgrade your report (File > Save as) A crystal 7 or 8 or maybe 9 version of an rpt file there is a chance it might work directly from cfreport.
2) If that doesn't work you'll have to use a crystal web component to run the report to a pdf and link to it. There's enough Java and .NET examples out there and you can use the Java call directly in cf9, or wrap it in a javaloader cfc call.
3) Call the report through crystal server - If you already have a web based crystal reports server you can attempt to access the report you want through it. I'd suggest this route first. There's a web viewer built into the crystal server which you may be able to re-purpose. I got it working once but it's been too long.
4) You can access the crystal reports developer tools and simply make a call through cfobject for what you need to run the report (aka print) to a PDF and then just use the report. I'd probably look down this route first because I'm most familiar with it and it might be the least amount of work..
Hope that helps!
