Projects are defined to contain diagrams, the next level of the SAS Enterprise Miner organizational hierarchy. Diagrams usually pertain to a single analysis theme or project. When a diagram is defined, a new subdirectory is created in the Workspaces directory of the corresponding project. Each diagram is independent, and no information can be passed from one diagram to another. Libraries are defined using a LIBNAME statement. You can create a library using the SAS Enterprise Miner Library Wizard, using SAS Management Console, or by using the Start-Up Code window when you define a project. Any data source compatible with a LIBNAME statement can provide data for SAS Enterprise Miner. Specific analyses in SAS Enterprise Miner occur in process flows. A is a sequence of tasks or process flow nodes connected by arrows in the user interface, and it defines the order of analysis. The organization of a process flow is contained in a file, EM_DGRAPH, which is stored in the diagram directory. Each node in the diagram corresponds to a separate subdirectory in the diagram directory. Information in one process flow can be sent to another by connecting the two process flows. 2.2 Creating a SAS Enterprise Project, Library, and Diagram Your task when you start an analysis is creating a SAS Enterprise Miner project, data library, and diagram. Often these are set up by a SAS administrator (or reused from a previous analysis), but knowing how to set up these items yourself is fundamental to learning about SAS Enterprise Miner. Before attempting the processes described in the following demonstrations, you need to log on to your computer, and start and log on to the SAS Enterprise Miner client program. Creating a SAS Enterprise Miner Project A SAS Enterprise Miner project contains materials related to a particular analysis task. These materials include analysis process flows, intermediate analysis data sets, and analysis results. To define a project, you must specify a project name and the location of the project on the SAS Foundation Server. Follow the steps below to create a new SAS Enterprise Miner project. Select File New Project from the main menu. The Create New Project wizard opens at Step 1.   In this configuration of SAS Enterprise the only server available for processing is the host server listed above. Select Next. Step 2 of the Create New Project wizard is used to specify the following information: the name of the project you are creating the location of the project Type a project name, for example, in the field. My Project, Name
