The message: Existing Client Found is displayed in the Install Shield Wizard window, indicating that a preexisting copy of SAS has been found on a network server.
|
A pre-existing copy of SAS has been found that is configured to run as a thin Client from a network server. JMP Genomics and JMP Clinical will work with a personal copy of SAS loaded on the same Client machine only and configured to work locally.
Contact JMP Technical Support (support@jmp.com) for instructions and assistance in resolving this problem.

There is also the possibility of a bug in the SAS macro code. If you have found what appears to be a bug, please send the SAS log and explanation to support@jmp.com. Please describe your procedure in sufficient detail for us to reproduce the problem. If you are a SAS programmer, you might wish to view and even edit the original SAS code in the ProcessLibrary and/or MacroLib folders.
Please also feel free to send suggested changes to the code to support@jmp.com.

JMP can run one only process at a time and does not queue jobs. Click in the dialog to wait, disregard the second Run, and let the current process continue running. Click to view the current SAS log to get information about the current process. Click to stop the current process. If the SAS process does not stop in a short period of time, it is okay to kill the sas.exe process directly from Windows Task Manager, and then click again.

Opening a data file using the command in any JMP Genomics/Clinical process
|
The column names listed in the Available Variables box of a dialog appear different from the original column names in the data set.
|
SAS uses two ways to name a column: the variable label and the variable name. When a file is opened using the command from the JMP menu, SAS variable labels are displayed. These might differ from those displayed in the Available Variables list in the JMP process dialogs, which display SAS variable names for the available variables.
To solve the problem, open the data file using the button on the process dialogs. This displays the table with names the same as those in the Available Variables lists.
Alternatively, use the command from the JMP menu and, in the Open Data File dialog, change File of type to SAS Data Sets and click the Use SAS Variable Names for Column Names check box.

An ERROR message, indicating that the specified EDF does not exist, is generated.

This message has been observed when an .xls file has been specified as the EDF if either the EDF is open in Excel or has been saved using a legacy (Excel 4.0 or older) format. To resolve this problem, first make sure the file is not open. Second, open the file in Excel and save it in the most recent format. Alternatively, open the file in JMP and save it as a SAS data set using the command .

Agilent Import Engine

Running the process generates a long ERROR message along with a SAS Log and a SAS Message dialog indicating the successful generation of the SAS Data Set, EDDS, and an Annotation data set.
|
The process has run successfully despite the appearance of the ERROR message. The likely cause of the ERROR message is the presence of non-numeric character strings in numerical columns. For example, Agilent places the string #IND, in empty numeric cells to indicate missing values. When SAS imports the data from these files, it reports an error and replaces the character string with a period (.).
Open the resulting data sets to verify they are as you intended. If so, you can safely ignore the ERROR message and proceed with the data analysis.

Any Import process
|
A SAS log is displayed in your JMP Genomics session along with a message preceded by ERROR or there are notes in the SAS log indicating invalid data for particular variables.
|
When importing a file to a SAS data set, SAS determines the type of variable (character or numeric) based on the first N observations, where N is the value provided in the Number of Rows to Scan parameter on the Options tab of most of the
Import processes. Sometimes, when a character value is present after the first N observations and the previous observations have all been numeric (so that the variable has already been defined as numeric), an error occurs when SAS attempts to read this character value.
Try increasing the value for N in the Options tab until you no longer see these notes in the log.

|
When importing a file to a SAS data set, SAS determines the length of variable (character or numeric) based on the first N observations, where N is the value provided in the Number of Rows to Scan parameter on the Options tab of most of the Import processes. Sometimes, when subsequent values are longer than those in the first N observations, SAS truncates those values to the length determined for the N observations.
Try increasing the value for N in the Options tab.

An error exists in the underlying JMP Clinical code. The code in these versions reads: random Bi ~ binary(P) subject = s monitor =(Bi);.
