7 Multi-User Workload Balancing delivers the following capabilities: The workload submitted by multiple users is spread out among the available machines. Balancing ensures that no machine becomes overloaded. The overall throughput of jobs is increased. SAS Grid Manager – Multi-User Workload Balancing

24 SAS ® Using the SAS Grid What is SAS Grid Computing Capabilities of SAS Grid Computing Exploring SAS Stored Processes

25 Benefits of Stored Processes SAS Stored Processes provide many benefits. Stored processes can prompt users for input through parameters. This enables reports that are not static and that can be easily run with different values. Every application that runs a stored process always receives the latest version of the results. Stored process programs use security to ensure that each user has access only to the information that he or she is allowed to see. In many cases, the stored process program code can be created using the point-and-click functionality of SAS Enterprise Guide.

26 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. What Is a SAS Stored Process? A SAS Stored Process is a special type of SAS program. Stored processes enable you to run a SAS program and view the results in many different types of SAS applications. Stored processes consist of SAS program code and a metadata definition that describes how the stored process should execute.

27 Stored Processes and Enterprise Guide When using SAS Enterprise Guide, you can create the stored process program and register the associated stored process metadata. += A stored process can be invoked from various applications. Using SAS Enterprise Guide, you create a project that performs both these actions. Create the stored process program. Register the stored process metadata.

28 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Creating a Stored Process from a Process Flow Stored processes can be created from a single task or all of the tasks in a process flow. For a single task, right-click the task and select Create Stored Process. For all of the tasks, right-click in the background of the Process Flow window and select Create Stored Process.

29 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Create New Stored Process Wizard Steps Whether you create a stored process from a single task or all of the tasks in a process flow, the Create New Stored Process Wizard guides you through the process. This wizard has seven steps as outlined below: 1.name and description 2.SAS code, code options, or both 3.execution options 4.library references (librefs) 5.prompts 6.data sources and targets 7.summary

30 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Create New Stored Process Wizard: Step 1 In Step 1 of the Create New Stored Process Wizard, you provide the name and other descriptive information. At any point in the wizard, you can preview the code that is used for the stored process by clicking (the Code Preview icon).

31 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Create New Stored Process Wizard: Step 2 When you create a stored process from all of the tasks in a project, the SAS code from all of the tasks is displayed in Step 2. By default, code is added for the stored process macros, global macro variables, and LIBNAME references.

32 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Create New Stored Process Wizard: Step 3 In Step 3, you specify the execution options. By default, the server type is set at Default server, indicating that the application selects the server to run on. You can choose to store the source code in the metadata or in a source code repository.

33 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Create New Stored Process Wizard: Step 4 Step 4 enables you to modify the LIBNAME statement for the selected library. The default is to include all libraries referenced by tasks that are used to create the stored process. 33

34 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Create New Stored Process Wizard: Step 5 Step 5 displays the input prompts for the stored process. You can organize these prompts into groups. 34

35 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Create New Stored Process Wizard: Step 6 In Step 6, you list any data sources that you want to use as input when the stored process runs. 35

36 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Create New Stored Process Wizard: Step 7 The final step is where you review all the settings before creating the stored process. You can show the full SAS code and control how information is shown by clicking one of these icons: page mode two-page mode scroll mode 36

37 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. Running a Stored Process from SAS Enterprise Guide The SAS Folders choice in the Resources pane provides a convenient way to navigate through SAS Folders and select a stored process. You can also select File  Open  Stored Process to add a stored process to a project. continued...

38 Copyright © 2012, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved. What Are Prompts? Prompts enable you to request input from the user when code is run. Without prompts, the code that you run is static although the data might change. You can define prompts that require the user to select or enter one or more values when a task, query, program, or stored process is run.
