Did you miss the live presentation of the Ask the Expert session on SAS® Viya® Architecture and Data Access, Movement, and Processing: A SAS Programmer's Overview. No problem. You can still click here to access and view the on demand recording. A PDF document for the presentation and the demonstration script is also available for download. In this post I am attaching the demo code used and a Q&A for questions received but not answered in the recording.
Here is a Q and A for some outstanding questions that were not provided during the live session:
Q: Does SAS Web Report Studio integrate with SAS Viya.
A: It does not. However, SAS Visual Analytics provides the equivalent functionality in the SAS Viya environment.
Q: Could you give some examples of what programmers cannot accomplish on SAS Grid but on SAS Viya? Do they share the similar architecture?
A: SAS Grid allows you to distribute SAS jobs in an automated way to any number of available SAS servers that are available. This allows you to effectively use any available SAS Server resources to execute SAS programs as soon as a server is available. However, each SAS job executes only on the single SAS server machine that the job is sent to. In SAS Viya, on the other hand, every single process executes in parallel across multiple machine simultaneously where the data itself is distributed across all those machines and the process executes in parallel across all those machines. This allows you to execute each individual process rapidly on large volumes of data.
Can you make the sample code source data sets available too?
