17 What is a Stored Process? A SAS program Hosted on a server and described by metadata Executed by many of th he new applications in the SAS 9 Enterprise Intelligence Platform

18 Capabilities of Stored Processes SAS ODS Output SA AS Sto ored Proc cess Results Package SAS Data Sources SAS Catalog Entry E mail External Files

19 Advantages of Stored Processes Can be invoked by end users Can accept user input parameters for dynamic execution Code is not embedded into client applications, so can be invoked from multiple applications Security and application integrity ensured through Metadata Accessed on demand so changes are immediately reflected

20 Stored Process Execution SAS Add In for Microsoft Office SAS Enterprise Guide SAS Information Delivery Portal SAS Web Report Studio < Parameters > Metadata Server Stored Process Server.SASS

21 Stored Process Macros *ProcessBody; co Initiates input parameter processing (if any exist) %STPBEGIN Initializes the Output Delivery System (ODS) to generate output from the stored process %STPEND omment Terminates ODS processing and completes delivery of the output to the client or other destinations

22 How are they created? Create Stored Process Write or modify.sas program, using Base SAS, Enterprise Guide, etc., including Stored Process Macros Register the Metadata Management Console, or Enterprise Guide Run the Stored Processs Test and Modify as required

23 Stored Process Syntax libname orionstp meta port=8561 protocol=bridge library= SP_Orion" repname="foundation"; *ProcessBody; %stpbegin; %stpend; Program code goes here

24 What Does a Stored Process Look Like? This is the original SASS program: proc report data=orionstp.sp_customer_orders nowd; where product_name contains "Women"; title "Shoe Sales by Country"; title2 'Criteria: Product_Name contains "Women"'; column Customer_Country Total_Retail_Price; define Customer_Country / group "Country"; define Total_Retail_Price / sum f=comma9.2 "Retail Price"; rbreak after / summarize; run;

25 What Does a Stored Process Look Like? This stored process was converted from the previous program: *ProcessBody; %stpbegin; proc report data=orionstp..sp_customer_orders nowd; where product_name contains "Women"; title "Shoe Sales by Country"; title2 'Criteria: Product_Name contains "Women"'; column Customer_Country Total_Retail_Price; define Customer_Country / group "Country"; define Total_Retail_Price / sum f=comma9.2 "Retail Price"; rbreak after / summarize; run; %stpend;

26 But is that all?
