Example Process Flows Create and Populate the New Job 175 Metadata for the source table, a SAS data set called TigersHitting2002, is available in a current metadata repository. Output for the report will be sent to the Output tab in the Process Designer window. The appropriate option must be set so that the Output tab appears in the Process Designer window. For details, see “Process Designer Window” on page 20. The main metadata repository is under change-management control. You do not have to check out the metadata for the TigersHitting2002 table. (The metadata for this table will not be updated.) You have selected a default SAS application server for SAS Data Integration Studio, as described in “Selecting a Default SAS Application Server” on page 96. This server can access the TigersHitting2002 table that are used in the job. It is assumed that you have started SAS Data Integration Studio and have opened the appropriate metadata profile. For this example, the appropriate metadata profile would specify the repository that will enable you to access the PrintHittingStatistics transformation and the metadata for the source table, which is TigersHitting2002. Create and Populate the New Job Follow these steps to create a complete process flow diagram, from sources, through transformations, to targets: 1 From the SAS Data Integration Studio menu bar, select Tools Process Designer. The New Job wizard displays. 2 Enter PrintHittingStats Job in the Name field. Then enter a description for the job in the Description field. 3 Click Finish. An empty job will open in the Process Designer window. The job has now been created and is ready to be populated with the PrintHittingStatistics transformation template and the source table, TigersHitting2002. 4 On the SAS Data Integration Studio desktop, click the Process tab to display the Process Library. 5 In the Process Library, open the UserDefined folder and the Reports subfolder. 6 Click, hold, and drag the PrintHittingStatistics transformation into the empty Process Designer window. Release the mouse button to display the template in the Process Designer window for the new job, as shown in the following display. Display 10.26 PrintHittingStatistics Template, Unpopulated 7 On the desktop, click the Inventory tab to display the Inventory tree. 8 In the Inventory tree, click and drag the TigersHitting2002 table into the drop zone (dashed-line box) in the Process Designer window, then release the mouse 176 Configure the PrintHittingStatistics Transformation Chapter 10 button. The TigersHitting2002 table appears as a source in the new job, as shown in the following display. Display 10.27 PrintHittingStatistics Template, Populated The job now contains a complete process flow diagram, from the source through the transformation. No target is required in the process flow diagram because output for the job will be sent to the Output tab in the Process Designer window. The next task is to specify options in the PrintHittingStatistics transformation. Configure the PrintHittingStatistics Transformation The example job now contains a complete process flow diagram. The job is not ready to run, however. In order to produce the report that is shown in Display 10.24 on page 174, a title must be specified, and a set of columns must be selected from the source. Then, the sum of the values in the HR column must be calculated. Assume that the steps for doing these tasks have been documented by the person who created the PrintHittingStatistics transformation. Follow these steps to specify options for the PrintHittingStatistics transformation: 1 In the Process Designer window, select the PrintHittingStatistics transformation. Then select File Properties from the menu bar. A properties window displays. Example Process Flows Configure the PrintHittingStatistics Transformation 177 2 Click the Options tab. The default options for the PrintHittingStatistics transformation are shown in the following display. Display 10.28 Transformation Options Window Using these settings, the following %LET statements are generated when you run the job: %let HomeRuns = %nrquote(HR); %let ReportTitle = %nrquote(2002 Power Hitting Statistics); 3 In the Home runs field, enter the name of the source table column that contains home run values. In Display 10.25 on page 174, this is the HR column. 4 In the Report title field, enter a name for the report, such as Tigers Hitting Statistics 2002 . 178 Run the Job and Check the Log Chapter 10 5 Click the Column Options tab. Use this tab to select columns from the source table that should appear in the report. For the report that is shown in Display 10.24 on page 174, select the columns Name, G, AB, HR, and RBI. When you are finished, the Column Options tab should resemble the following display. Display 10.29 Column Options Window Using these settings, the following %LET statement is generated when you run the job: %let ColumnsToPrint = "Name"n "G"n "AB"n "HR"n "RBI"n; 6 When you are finished entering metadata, click OK to save your changes. The job is now ready to run. Run the Job and Check the Log After the metadata for a job is complete, you must submit the job for execution in order to create targets on the file system. 1 With the job displayed in the Process Designer window, select Process Submit from the menu bar. SAS Data Integration Studio generates code for the job and submits the code to a SAS application server. 2 If a pop-up error message appears, or if you want to look at the log for the completed job, click the Log tab in the Process Designer window. 3 On the Log tab, scroll through the SAS log information that was generated during the execution of the job, as shown in the following display. Example Process Flows Check In the Metadata 179 Display 10.30 Log Tab with Text from the PrintHittingStats Job The code that was executed for the job is available in the Source Editor tab in the Process Designer window. 4 If you find errors in the source code for a step, select the corresponding transformation in the process flow diagram. Then select File Properties from the menu bar. A properties window displays. 5 Correct the metadata and resubmit the job until there are no more errors. 6 After the job runs without error, save the job. Select File Save from the menu bar. The next task is to verify that the job created the correct output. Verify Job Outputs After the job runs without error and has been saved, you should confirm that the target table(s) contain the data you need, in the format that best communicates the purpose of the targets. In the current example, the output is sent to the Output tab in the Process Designer window. When you click that tab, a report similar to the one shown in Display 10.24 on page 174 should display. If the report needs to be improved, change the properties of the transformation that feeds data to the report. If the outputs are correct, you can check in the job. Check In the Metadata Check in all objects in the Project tree as follows: 1 In the Project tree, select the repository icon. 2 From the SAS Data Integration Studio menu bar, select Project Check In Repository. All of the objects in the project repository are checked into the change-managed repository. . will not be updated.)
