Hi @ShelleySessoms - I know that it's "old" (3 years ago) now... but is there any chance that you could please point me to anything regarding this, specifically?: "Stayed tuned for details on our July presentation on Visual Analytics Administration!" I am a new SAS Administrator, and in this case new to SAS VA (Visual Analytics) as well. It's a gap (SAS Visual Analytics Administration, specifically) that I need to fill pretty soon for helping my team. Thanks! ... View more

So, you @MargaretC are indeed the author of that SAS Paper, etc., Margaret Crevar!; very cool!! Thank you so much for your prompt and kind reply! I appreciate your patience with me and my first reply Post to you. Here are "two" initial, quick questions that are as much for you/your SAS team as for Pinkesh?, please: 1) Is there any issue with having Non-Distributed SAS licensing (that includes VA (SAS Visual Analytics)) on OCI? (FYI, out of our five current SAS licenses, there are two of them which are non-distributed.) 2) Regardless of Distributed and/or Non-Distributed SAS licensing... Can I utilize that iotest.sh script as part of post-deployment (to OCI) testing? Given that we don't have SAS Grid, would it work in testing SAS on OCI? Perhaps we should take this to email, where, for reference, I would provide you with each of the SAS environments Sites numbers (with relevant details) for which I am responsible (and as currently being used before the environments are being moved to OCI), as well as with some more questions? No pressure. Please advise. ... View more

Hi @MargaretC - This/your post with the link is specifically about running SAS Grid on OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).  With our size and user base, etc., we do not have or have a need for SAS Grid per se; but we are in the process of having all of our FedEx Trade Networks SAS environments moved from on-prem to OCI.  Are you aware of anything from Pinkesh and/or Oracle more about that?   RE: " ... IO test for SAS WORK This test used the iotest.sh script provided by SAS. ... " *Does this test script require deployment of SAS Grid on OCI?   I see that Margaret Crevar, Sr Manager, SAS Performance Lab, is quoted in that Oracle BLOG entry.  FYI, currently I am reading her latest version of "Important Performance Considerations When Moving SAS to a Public Cloud" (please see attachment...).  Is she active on SAS Communities?  Does she have any on-going professional contact (about the running of SAS in the Oracle Cloud but without SAS Grid) with Pinkesh Valdria / Oracle?  I am a senior Data Analyst, SAS programmer and Developer, and a SAS Administrator with FedEx Logistics.  And in my role with FedEx Logistics, Trade Networks, I don't personally connect to Oracle Corporation directly.   Also, after that blog link, I didn't see/couldn't find what's mentioned there, as I've quoted immediately below; any ideas?: "... Next Steps We’ll follow up with a more detailed reference architecture document or technical blog post that includes recommended infrastructure (compute, storage) and detailed results from joint performance testing by SAS and Oracle. ..."   Can you please advise?  Thanks! ...

I don't believe that "expire" is accurate regarding this, as the BASE SAS 9 certification is still considered to be valid for those of us who earned it.   James Warren, MPA Sr Programmer Analyst and SAS Certified Base Programmer ... View more
